2021-06-15 I think it's better to stop the garbage collection(*) of the Ebata family. [長年日記]

Disposing of the materials (sometimes containing personal information) used for column reviews and other documentation is a vexing problem.

In the past, I used to burn these materials in my yard using paint cans, but recently I have stopped, considering the inconvenience to our neighbors.

(I looked it up and it seems that it is not "absolutely prohibited" (Law Concerning Waste Disposal and Public Cleansing, Article 16-2, Paragraph 3))

Well, incineration is a hassle.

So, recently, I have been using the "two trash cans" method of disposal.

------

It's as simple as this: tear up the documents that have served their purpose as finely as possible on the spot, by hand, and throw what's left in your left hand into the left trash can, and what's left in your right hand into the right trash can.

And the garbage from those garbage cans is put out on separate garbage collection days.

For credit cards, it is necessary to cut the IC chip, name, and card number with scissors multiple times.

(For hard disks, etc., after physical formatting, I remove them from the computer, tread them down with car tires, and then dispose of them in non-combustible garbage.)

Well, even this may be a comfort. In the first place, even if you go through the garbage of the Ebata family, you won't find much confidential information.

I think it's better to stop the garbage collection(*) of the Ebata family.

(*)One of the IT terms.
