I don't need research because I've been to Tokyo plenty of times and I saw in fact lots of trash in the ground.

And again you're wrong, trash bins for recycling do exist in Europe because I use them all the time, and I also happen to have visited lots of European countries and I didn't see that much more trash in the ground than Japan. It's true for cigar butts (its mind boggling in the Mediterranean countries) , but not trash. You probably had one "bad" experience and are using that evidence anecdotally. You are comparing Japan, a country, to Europe, a continent, it's not fair

Haha, I need to take your word for because you say so when everyone says that trash bins are rare in Japan. There are even people asking for a guide to find trash bins.

Trash bin do exists but not everywhere especially in the streets. And when they exist it is only two types. And you will that people do not recycle and I saw the cleaners mix them.

When I say there is trash in the ground, I didn't mean that you see it everywhere.

Why isn't it fair to compare Japan to Europe?
