Story summary
- Starting June 1, Tokyo's Shibuya Ward will fine litterers 2,000 yen under the campaign “If you throw trash, you lose cash.”
- The policy shift ends the ward's previous practice of removing public bins due to concerns about attracting more trash and security issues.
- The initiative requires food and beverage outlets to provide rubbish bins and imposes fines up to 50,000 yen for non-compliance.
