Monday, May 1, 2023

On Friday, April 28, from 8:00 a.m., the Hokuryu-cho Yawara Neighborhood Association Senior Citizens Club (Chairman: Nobuyuki Kanayama) held a "Roadside Trash Cleanup" (garbage pickup).

On the day of the event, more than 20 members participated in the event amid chilly and cold spring winds. They picked up trash along the roads and streets in the Wa Neighborhood Association area to help beautify the environment of the roads.

Along Road No. 94 (Masumo Inada Line)

The trash pickup will be along the Wa Neighborhood Association's town road and a 2-km one-way path, and will take about one hour round trip.

Each participant brings a garbage bag and a fire hook to collect garbage, cans, pieces of wood, etc. that have fallen on the banks and irrigation ditches.

Meeting with the brush strokers was moving!

On the way, we were moved to meet with the dirt brush boys who live and grow through the asphalt with resilience!

The power of the life force is astonishing!

Separating Garbage

The collected trash was carefully sorted into burnable trash, non-burnable trash, bottles, cans, PET bottles, etc. Numerous garbage bags were loaded into the back of a light truck.
