Getting to zero: Japan town aims to recycle all its waste

KAMIKATSU, Japan - Plastic, paper, metal? In Japan's Kamikatsu, sorting rubbish isn't that simple. Residents face a mind-boggling 45 separate categories for their garbage as the town aims to be "zero-waste" by 2020.

And that's not all: The town in western Japan doesn't even have trash collection service. The 1,500 residents have to transport their waste themselves to the local facility.

"Yes, it's complicated," said Naoko Yokoyama, a 39-year-old resident who had brought her trash to the town's waste center.
