The devastating Tsunami and Earthquake that occured 3 months ago, the has left parts of Japan with an estimated 20 million tonnes or more of debris. The debris comprises of large volumes of household trash, broken electrical appliances, battered vehicles, remains from destroyed homes, wood, clothes and metal, wreckage from ships and vessles, the list would be endless. There is huge effort being put in everyday by the Japanese government and various organizations to move the debris, and collect them into gigantic mounts in different places and separate them for the purpose of recyling. However, there is no detailed plan as to how to go about it due to the horrendous amount of debris and and giant task involved in clearing them. It's believed that it would taken Japan between 3 to 6 years to clear the debris.
