Sorting Rubbish in Nishio

While sorting my rubbish today I came across this leaflet, which explains how rubbish is to be sorted. Now in the UK we just have a simple two bag system, Recycling and general rubbish. Britons usually complain (including myself) when we go to Europe and have to deal with a simple 3 bags or so. Well try and negotiate this bloody massive thing. I never thought sorting rubbish could be made so complicated, and really highlights what a laid back attitude we have to rubbish in the UK, no wonder we have problems with landfill sites. (But at least they collect more than once a fortnight here!) Thought this would make a few people smile.

i was lucky that i didn't have to do it when i was in tokyo. i guess it all depends on the local government policy. some places like Nishio have quite strict rules to sort rubbish but some places don't.
you say Nishio is a small city but still has English version of instruction! i doubt that my hometown has English one.
