A report on a room where several tons of garbage had accumulated and been left in a six-mat room… Characteristics of the room owner revealed when we infiltrated the work of a cleaning company.
A garbage mansion filled with an unbelievable amount of garbage and a terrible smell. Many of you have probably seen news reports of problems with neighbors. Recently, however, “dirty rooms” in apartments and condominiums where a large amount of garbage has accumulated have become a problem.
One of the most popular YouTube channels, “Partners’ President’s Office [Gomiyashiki Specialty Partners],” has been cleaning up many dirty rooms that cannot be entered through the front door, and they clean up more than 3,000 trashy houses and dirty rooms a year. They clean more than 3,000 trashy houses and dirty rooms a year.
Are there really this many trashy houses and dirty rooms in the world? We followed the president’s office of Partners [Gomiyashiki Specialized Partners] to the site and interviewed the owner about the characteristics of the site and the circumstances of the owner of the dirty room.
The request this time was for a room in an apartment in Tokyo. It was a 6-mat room with a loft and a bathroom. When we arrived at the site, seven staff members and a four-ton truck were waiting for us.
Surprised at the harshness of the smell, we looked inside the room and found that the garbage was piled up to waist height, so much so that we could not see the floor. Mr. Tsuyoshi Ishida, a cleaning staff member, walked over the garbage with a familiar look, checking the inside of the dirty room,
He said, “With this smell, I wonder if there are more convenience store lunches. The amount of trash and smell in this room is about a 3 on a scale of 10, and we should be done in about 5 hours.
He then instructed the other staff members to prepare garbage bags and cardboard boxes for sorting the garbage, and began the cleaning work.
As I watched them cleaning the room, I noticed that the electricity in the room had been turned off and a large amount of vermin feces were stuck to the walls. As the work progressed a little further, we found a large number of remote controls for air conditioners and televisions, which made us wonder, so we asked Mr. Ishida about them,
When we asked Mr. Ishida about it, he replied, “When a house is trashed, the remote controls go under the trash, and you can’t find them. When that happens, it is faster to buy a remote control than to search for it, so they buy a remote control of the same model and use it instead.
The answer came back.
Most of the trash removal is done by hand, and when the large commercial trash bags are full, they are taken out to a truck parked outside. When valuables and expensive alcohol were found, they were sorted and put into cardboard boxes for the client’s identification.
The cleanup was completed about four hours after the start of the work. The amount of trash that had accumulated this time was about half of a 4-ton truck.
