Summary of illegal dumping of construction waste
Illegal dumping of construction waste has become a serious social problem throughout Japan since the early 2000s. 85000000 tons of construction waste was generated in FY2000, and it is estimated that about 90% of this amount was dumped illegally. This is especially true in urban areas such as the Tokyo metropolitan area, Osaka, and Aichi, where waste containing PCBs and asbestos causes soil and groundwater contamination. However, the tightness and high cost of final disposal sites is a challenge.
