I would like to say that there was a house in Misawa called the "trash house". Why? Because it is expensive and time consuming to sort the way you are supposed to (like 6 different bags) and get your trashed picked up. So local poor or lazy people (not the same people) filled to the brim this two story house on the main street of Misawa. Disgusting, no?
The city north of Misawa though, has a 5% trash rate with the goal of going to 0% by a close year that I can't remember. That means 95% was reused, reduced and recycled.
