Fukushima City, Japan, is set to enforce new regulations for trash disposal starting in March, making it the first city to publicly name individuals and businesses that fail to comply with strict sorting and size rules. The initiative aims to enhance waste management and reduce violations, with over 9,000 infractions reported last year. Local officials stress that inspections will be conducted privately, despite concerns over privacy. Mayor Hiroshi Kohata emphasizes the importance of proper waste disposal as part of Japan’s long-term recycling goals.
