Let's prevent littering!
To prevent littering damage caused by animals and others
To prevent littering caused by animals, it is important to implement the following measures and ideas.
Let's follow the established rules and manners for garbage disposal, such as putting it out by 8 AM.
Crows become more active during the breeding season (generally from late March to early July).
Measures that can be taken at home
Reduce kitchen waste
Let's reduce the food waste that can be used as animal feed.
Food Waste Disposal
- Be sure to drain the moisture from kitchen waste, and wrap it in at least a minimal amount of flyers or newspaper to keep it out of sight in the garbage bag. Draining the moisture from the waste also contributes to reducing the amount of waste.
- Place kitchen waste in the center of the garbage bag so that it is not visible from the outside.
- Let's not dispose of waste with only kitchen scraps.
Tips for Garbage Disposal That Are Less Likely to Be Disturbed by Animals
Use of Bird Netting
Instead of just covering with a net, let's use it to wrap the entire garbage. Please place weights on the edges of the net to ensure there are no gaps.
Bird protection nets are distributed for free by the Living Environment Division, so if you need one, please come to the counter.
Only for single-family homes, we will provide it for free for the first time.
- Note: For the second time and thereafter, you will need to purchase individually.
- Note: Bird prevention nets are not distributed to residents of apartment buildings, so please check and consult with your property manager regarding bird prevention measures.
Hide kitchen waste
Crows have excellent vision and are said to recognize reddish colors and wet objects as food.
Drain the kitchen waste thoroughly, place it in a small bag, and wrap that small bag in newspaper or similar material before placing it in the center of the garbage bag.
Dispose of garbage according to the established rules
If you put out raw garbage the night before or on the day of collection, it will be left out for a long time, giving crows time to search for food.
As much as possible, please put it out at the collection point by 8 AM on the morning of the designated day after it gets light.
Precautions for Installing Bird Nets
Please secure the installed net with weights or similar items to prevent it from being blown away by the wind and to avoid obstructing pedestrian traffic.
We ask for your cooperation in maintaining proper waste disposal and environmental beautification.
