Delivery of garbage bags is delayed "Features in this place" Gifu Feb 21 15:27
Due to the spread of the new coronavirus, in Seki City, Gifu Prefecture, where a designated garbage bag is ordered from a factory in China, the delivery of some garbage bags has been delayed, making it difficult to obtain at many stores.
Seki City has ordered three large, medium and small garbage bags from a factory in Shanghai, China.
According to the city, we noticed that a small 30 liter bag was ordered less than expected last November, and when we promptly requested the factory to add it, it was reported that delivery would be in mid-February.
However, due to the spread of the new coronavirus, factories in China temporarily suspended operations and shipments, delaying delivery and have not yet arrived.
Supermarkets and convenience stores in the city that sell garbage bags have been out of stock since last December, and many stores are no longer able to obtain medium-sized garbage bags. Although large and small garbage bags have plenty of inventory, the city has received about 50 public inquiries and complaint calls so far.
The factory in Shanghai has already resumed shipments, and it is expected that approximately 336,000 pieces of medium-sized garbage bags ordered on Seki will be delivered to Seki City on 27th of this month.
Fukui Masanori section chief of Seki City Environmental Division "I'm sorry to bother to citizens. Because somehow the prospect of the stock stood, I want to wait a little longer," I talk to.
Citizens: "Surprised to be affected in such places
At a store selling cosmetics and miscellaneous goods in the center of Seki City, Gifu Prefecture, medium-sized garbage bags have been out of stock since late December last year. A woman in her 70s said, "I usually visit customers who don't come for medium size, but I can't do anything. I want them to arrive as soon as possible."
A woman in her 70s said, "I didn't know that the garbage bags were made in China, so I was surprised to see the impact on such places. I don't want it to be difficult to get because of its size. "
