Jace continued to sort through the trash, picking out those that can be recycled. Mostly are plastic bottles in different sizes. He got his first bin bag on the floor, and dumped all the recyclables inside it, and when it was full enough, tossed everything into the bin bag that was labelled ‘R’. If he were in Japan, he’d be asked to peel off the plastic label stuck around it, and sort it into ‘plastics’. After getting that one out, it was also required to separate the plastic bottle cap from the rest of the container. Bottle caps should go into another separate bin. People can tell that sorting out trash in Japan is a very big deal. How big of a deal is it? Well, to start off with the basics, they’ve got 34 categories for it. And that’s just for one small town.

After dumping all the plastics in the right bin, Jace picked up his oversized broom, and started sweeping off leaves from the ground, and would occasionally stop to pick candy wrappers out of his pile. Those wrappers will have to go directly into the T bin bag.
