Hirosaki City is currently looking for a monitor for using the "Mini Chiero" container for reducing the amount of garbage.

"Chiero" is a container that decomposes and reduces the amount of swill by the power of bacteria in the soil. It is a waste disposal method devised by a couple living in Kanagawa, and in recent years local governments all over the country have recommended the use of Chiero.

Hirosaki City's "Mini Chiero" monitor uses a commercially available planter that can hold 20 liters and black clay to dispose of household garbage, and one month later, the usability is summarized in a questionnaire and submitted to the city. The city began recruiting hands-on monitors in 2020, and this is the third year. Last year, we prepared 100 pieces, but since we exceeded the initial number of preparations, we added another 100 pieces.

Mr. Kazuhiro Nagauchi, who is in charge of resource recycling in the Environment Division, said, "40% of the combustible waste generated from homes is swill. I would like you to use Mini Chiero to be interested in waste reduction and environmental issues. After the experience, there is no need to return it, so I hope you can use it at home as it is. "

For general households living in the city, on a first-come, first-served basis. Up to 1 per household. Delivery will be carried out at the Environment Division on the 2nd floor of Hirosaki City Hall (Kamishiroganecho, Hirosaki City) and the Machida Office (Tsutsui, Machida). Since the weight is 25 kg, it is recommended to pick it up by car and check the application status by phone or email in advance because the number is limited.

Mr. Nagauchi said, "When I personally used it, the swill was actually decomposed in a few days. The trick is to soak it in water, and the bacteria are more active in a high temperature and well-ventilated place. There are things that are difficult to disassemble and easy to disassemble, so please refer to the enclosed manual and experience the fun of erasing the swill. "
