東京都千代田区は11月8日、秋葉原中央通りと秋葉原駅周辺の10カ所にスマートごみ箱計22台を設置し、運用を始めた。ポイ捨てを減らすと同時に、IoT機能を活用した効率的なごみの回収を目指す。

設置したのは、全国でスマートごみ箱の設置事業を手掛けるフォーステック(東京都千代田区)の「SmaGO」(スマゴ)。本体上部のソーラーパネルで発電・蓄電した電力で動き、ごみが一定量たまると自動で約5分の1に圧縮してあふれを抑える。ごみのたまり具合は、クラウド経由でリアルタイムに把握できる。22台の内訳は、一般ごみ用の圧縮タイプが10台、瓶・缶・ペットボトルなど資源物用の非圧縮タイプが12台。

区によると、秋葉原では長年、ポイ捨てによる街の美観の悪化が課題だったという。民間ボランティアの清掃に加え、区も早朝のごみ回収などに取り組んできたが、街を訪れる人が増えるにつれ、ごみも増加。秋葉原を訪れる外国人観光客は年間1100万人に上るといい、地域や行政の清掃だけでは対応が難しい状況もあった。

フォーステックによると、SmaGOの設置先は全国約80カ所。既存のごみ箱から置き換えた東京の表参道・原宿エリアでは、回収回数が約70%減ったという。

運用開始を伝える区公式Xアカウントの投稿には、「ゴミ箱が増えることはいいことだと思います」「これは素晴らしいですね」と設置を歓迎する声が上がった。一方、家庭ごみや産業廃棄物の持ち込みを心配する声もあった。

Open Questions

  • 家庭ごみの不法投棄は実際に防げるか
  • 今後の設置台数拡大の予定はあるか
