This paper aims to clarify the characteristics of the effects that the introduction of fee charging had on the reduction of household wastes in Tonami City in Toyama Pref. and Minokamo City and Takayama City in gifu Pref., each of which introduced a different charge system for disposal of household wastes. Using statistical data, an investigation was conducted on the changes in the amounts of wastes by those cities in recent years. To identify the causes of wastes reduction, a questionnaire survey was administered to the inhabitants. The questionnaire included questions about their attitudes toward the charge systems,and their behavior concerning household wastes. The analysis of statistical data revealed that after the introduction of the charge systems there was a significant reduction in the amount of wastes. The analysis also clarified the respective amounts of household wastes and office wastes. the responses to questionnaire yielded the following findings: 1) the inhabitants' recycling efforts and disposal of wastes on their own were major causes of the reduction with the three cities showing different ratios; 2) the local governments' enlightenment efforts were effective in enhancing the inhabitants' awareness of the wastes problem.
