2024 Environmental Beautification Cleanup (garbage pickup)" by the Wa Neighborhood Association Senior Citizens Club
In the warm spring sun, more than 20 members participated in picking up trash along the roads and township streets in the Wa Neighborhood Association area.
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 brought a garbage bag and a fire hook to collect garbage, cans, pieces of wood, etc. that had fallen along the banks and irrigation ditches. Mayor Yasuhiro Sasaki also participated as a member of the senior citizens' club.



Feeling the spring in Hokuryu Town
On the way, we were impressed by the plump buds of cherry blossoms, clusters of brush clusters, fukujuso (a kind of Japanese silver leaf) blooming on the banks, dandelions lining the road, and other buds of spring that were coming to life in a big way!





Garbage is carefully separated
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.



Thank you for your hard work!
After the cleanup, everyone gathers. Thank you all for your hard work!
Drinks and pastries were distributed to all participants and the event was dismissed.



With boundless love, gratitude, and prayers for the active efforts of the town's senior citizens' clubs, who work together to beautify the town's environment with congeniality and pleasant conversation.
