GARBAGE-Care about it a bit more, Care about it a lot more!

There are some containers that cannot be taken out as〔Plastics〕even though they have  “Pura-mark” on them.

Plastic containers with propellant inside are sometimes mingled in the garbage and taken out on a designated day as〔Plastics〕and causing trouble in garbage disposal.

Propellant is often used for such products as insecticide spray, hair dye spray, etc. If they end up with other〔Plastics〕to be disposed of, a fire or an explosion may result in worst cases.

Before taking the garbage out, please make sure that no product with propellant inside is mingled in any of the garbage. The one with propellant inside shall be taken out as〔Hard-to-be-disposed-of〕garbage even though it has “Pura-mark” on it. Fire can be prevented by proper segregation of garbage. Thank you for your cooperation.
