Whenever my work related laws are changed, my office have the boxes of paper forms that can be no longer used.. then I take them to the city dump or whatever it's called. I am wonder if "paper less society" is ever happening in Japan. They love paper forms, fax and hanko too
much.
The weight of those paper trash was 40 kg (88 lb.) Every 10 kg, they charge you 50 yen if it's business related. (For the trash from home, it's free up to 50 kg.) So, it was 200 yen. When I drive in, they weight my car that was 1,020 kg. And after dumping the trash and come back, they weight the car again; that was 980 kg. So, that's how they find the weight of trash was 40 kg unless I forgot and left someone I came with at the dump. Did I..?
