With the Okinawa Prefecture deciding to revoke the permit to treat industrial waste for the Kurashikikankyo Co. Ltd. in Okinawa City, which manages most of the U.S. military base waste, the bases are facing a waste treatment problem.

The U.S. Kadena Base announced on its official facebook page the suspension of the garbage collection for about seven to ten days from November 21.

The official page also strongly encourages base residents to work on recycling.

 

The Camp Foster offical facebook page also shared the announcement, calling for caution.

All the waste from the households and bulky waste are included in the suspension, and the announcement explains the reason for the suspension as “issues with the contract and license with the waste management facilities.”

It further requests not to leave garbage at the garbabge collection sites while also announcing that engineers on the base are working on solving the issue.

 

The waste from the U.S. military has been managed through two companies including the Kurashikikankyo Co. Ltd.
