One thing that has been quite frustrating here in Japan is figuring out when and where to recycle in our cho (neighborhood). There are weird things like, "on the third Thursday of each month you may drop your tin cans to the recycle center". Of course, all if this information is in Japanese and I often miss the dates and have to cart my recyclables to the Navy base to recycle. Well, today I was on the ball and understood the notice for the recycle date and time for milk cartons, newspaper, junk mail/flyers, and cardboard (all of which get recycled into toilet paper). ***Side Note: why can the same milk cartons be recycled in Japan and not America???*** This afternoon, I noticed a pretty roll of toilet paper, a gift from the recycle company, sitting on my doorstep.
I just had to share this cheery experience.
