The section managers of the ward have been sent documents to the Toshima Ward Office in Tokyo, saying that they have outsourced the disposal of industrial waste, such as tables that have become unnecessary, to an unauthorized company.

Documents were sent to Toshima Ward as a corporation and the heads of eight sections of the Ward, including a total of 24 staff members.

According to the Metropolitan Police Department, the section managers commissioned an unlicensed contractor to dispose of unnecessary waste, such as tables and whiteboards, equivalent to industrial waste from the Toshima Ward Office, for about three years before coming to sleep. Suspicion of violation of the Waste Management Law has been raised.

The managers told the investigation that they did not know they were violating the law.
