Wa Neighborhood Association Senior Citizens Club "2024 Environmental Cleanup (Garbage Collection)"
Basking in the warm spring sunshine, over 20 members participated in picking up trash on the prefectural and town roads within the Wa neighborhood association.
The litter collection will take about an hour round trip along the town roads of the Wa neighborhood association and a 2km prefectural road.
Participants brought their own garbage bags and fire tongs and collected trash, cans, pieces of wood, etc. from banks and irrigation channels. Mayor Yasuhiro Sasaki also participated as a member of the senior citizens' club.
Feeling the spring in Hokuryu Town
Along the way, we were thrilled to encounter the vibrant signs of spring, such as plump cherry blossom buds, clusters of horsetails, Adonis flowers blooming on the banks, and dandelions lined up along the road!!!
Carefully separate your trash
The collected garbage was carefully separated into burnable garbage, non-burnable garbage, glass bottles, cans, plastic bottles, etc. Numerous garbage bags were loaded into the bed of a light truck.
thank you for your hard work!
