Indeed Stan, Their Garbage trucks are so clean you could eat your dinner off them.....literally !!...Their streets are very clean too, no littering, rubbish bins were removed from the streets after the Sarin Gas attack and everybody takes their rubbish home to be disposed of correctly. The Japanese Recycling Industry is above First World Levels, very little is wasted and put in land fills. Woe betide anyone seen by ""Mrs. Little old lady next door"" putting something next to the garbage collection area on the wrong day or at the wrong time, the entire street will hear about it, and you'll never live it down.
