How to dispose of garbage at evacuation shelters in the event of a disaster

As the new coronavirus infection spreads, in the event of a disaster, paying attention to the following points when disposing of garbage will help prevent the spread of infectious diseases at evacuation centers and will help not only evacuees but also evacuation center operators It is also an important action for those engaged in the cleaning and recycling business to ensure the smooth and safe collection and disposal of garbage and recyclables.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

Take care not to scatter garbage by tying it together in a small garbage bag for each household.
In addition, let's stop littering garbage such as masks.

It makes it easier to carry garbage bags during collection and transportation work, and prevents them from bursting on collection vehicles.

How to sort and dispose of recyclables may differ from usual. Let's separate according to the rules of the shelter.

When throwing away garbage such as masks, tissues, and diapers with runny nose, etc. in the dedicated space for those who have symptoms such as fever and cough, please be careful of the following.
・Be sure to tie up the bag tightly so that you do not touch the garbage directly!
・Wash your hands thoroughly after throwing away garbage! If you can't secure water, let's disinfect your fingers.
