The Japanese town has turned recycling into a streamlined process – there are separate bins for different types of paper products – newspapers, magazines, cartons, and flyers. Even plastic bottles and their caps go into different bins as do aluminum, spray, and steel cans are collected separately too. Many of these items are resold or repurposed into usable clothing, toys, and accessories. The labels on each bin show the recycling process for that specific item, so the residents know exactly what happens to their trash.

这个日本小镇让回收过程变得既精简又高效——上勝町针对各类纸制品（譬如报纸、杂志、纸箱及传单）设置了不同的回收箱。甚至连塑料瓶和瓶盖都必须分开投放，铝罐、喷雾罐和钢罐也必须归类至不同的回收箱。人们会再次出售某些废物，或将其重新用于衣物、玩具和首饰上。每个回收箱都贴有展示此类废物回收过程的标签，这样，居民们就能清楚得知废物的处理方式。

Reuse is highly encouraged in Kamikatsu – they have a local kuru-kuru shop where residents can exchange used items with new things at no extra cost. And the kuru-kuru factory employs women to make bags, clothes, and stuffed dolls out of discarded items. Businesses are also encouraged to participate in responsible waste management – the town has a zero-waste brewery, housed in a building constructed of reused materials.
