    There are several types of recycling trucks (Ž‘Œ¹‰ñŽûŽÔ) to collect different categories of waste. Ex.: http://www.shinwa-d.com/newpage25.html

    And you still haven't talked about the important points.
    Below are some important facts that have been established so far:
    1. Waste is managed by each city in Japan, not by prefecture or the national government.
    2. Most cities in Japan have more than three categories of waste for collection.
    3. Maciamo didn't know the fact #1, and wrongly believed that the government of Japan (then of Tokyo) takes care of waste management previously.
    4. Maciamo didn't know the fact #2, and wrongly believed that there are only three categories of waste, namely ``burnable, non-burnable, bottles,'' in Japan (later in Tokyo) previously.
    5. Maciamo is criticizing the mindset of the whole nation of Japan being environmentally insensitive.
    6. Maciamo lives in a city in Tokyo.


    And some important inferences from the facts above:
    1. From fact #3, #4, it is rather Maciamo himself who is quite ignorant or undereducated on the issue of waste management.
    2. From fact #3, #4, #5, Maciamo is quick to make a blanket generalization and judge an entire nation negatively with wrong and scant information. I.e., Maciamo is a prejudiced person.
    3. From fact, #2, #6, The city in which Maciamo lives most likely has more than the three categories of waste mentioned by himself in fact #4.
    4. From fact #4 and inference #3, Maciamo is quite possibly not sorting and preparing waste for collection properly as required by the waste management plan of his city. I.e., Maciamo is poisonous to the environment of his locality.
