概要	From garbage wars to recycling campaigns, civil society groups and ordinary citizens have been intimately involved in Japan’s modern waste management system almost since its inception in the Meiji period. Although at first engineers and waste management officials believed that Japan’s various “garbage problems” could be solved through the right technological innovations, by the 1930s the rhetoric of these waste experts had shifted toward expressing the belief that municipal waste management was impossible without the educated cooperation of ordinary citizens. A variety of factors, including the primacy of incineration as the preferred waste disposal method and various citizen protests against waste disposal facilities including landfills and incineration sites, contributed to this shift.
