[A Facility Dedicated to Creating a Clean Environment]
Social Welfare Corporation Tsukushinbo Nursery School
Location: Hino City, Tokyo
Opened in 1971, Tsukushinbo is a historic, community-rooted nursery school guided by the philosophy, “A healthy mind grows in a healthy body." In addition to fostering a warm environment where “both adults and children can spend every day with a smile and grow together," they strictly enforce safety and hygiene measures.
As part of their commitment to prioritizing the children’s safety, they use the GOMISER to return food waste from school lunches to water. This practice prevents foul odors and pest infestations, ensuring “a clean, eco-friendly facility operation that places no burden on nature." We are proud to support their efforts to protect a healthy and rich environment for future generations with our technology.
■ Before Installation: Municipal Collection Limits and the Drawbacks of Hygienic “Storage"
[Site Characteristics] A childcare facility caring for infants and toddlers. The unhygienic storage of food waste generated from school lunches directly leads to significant risks, including foul odors and pest outbreaks.
Tsukushinbo Nursery School faced a challenging restriction: the municipality severely limits the volume of designated commercial garbage bags they can set out for collection. Because they could not dispose of all the food waste generated from school lunches, it became a daily struggle to store the excess waste on the premises until the next collection day.
Furthermore, the increasingly strict waste collection rules imposed by local governments were placing an immense burden on the on-site staff responsible for storing and managing the food waste. In a childcare facility where hygiene is paramount, fundamentally reducing the volume of food waste was an urgent necessity.
- Collection Volume Limits: The city restricts the number of commercial garbage bags allowed, making it impossible to discard all waste.
- Storage Burden: The grueling task and hygiene risks of storing uncollected food waste on the premises.
- Municipal Discrepancies: Increased workload for staff due to the tightening of local government collection regulations.
■ The Decisive Factor: An “Extensive Track Record" Ensuring Safe and Reliable Processing
After calculating the daily food waste output at approximately 30kg, we proposed the GOMISER (GH-35 Model), an extinction-type food waste disposer with the optimal processing capacity.
Among the numerous products available, the most significant factor in choosing the GOMISER was its “extensive track record." The fact that the system is widely operating in facilities requiring the highest safety and hygiene standards—such as nursery schools, educational institutions, and medical facilities—provided a profound sense of security for the nursery, which required foolproof waste management.
■ Installation and Results: Achieving a Seamless Outdoor Retrofit and Freedom from Storage Stress

Following the installation, food waste generated at the facility is now tossed directly into the machine, where it is broken down into water and carbon dioxide. This process entirely eliminated their biggest headache: “the storage of food waste." By fundamentally resolving the issue of strict collection limits, the client has highly praised the system, stating they are “extremely satisfied."
- ✅ Elimination of Garbage Storage: By extinguishing food waste on-site, the stress of putrefaction and foul odors has been reduced to zero.
- ✅ Overcoming Collection Limits: They can now process lunch scraps effortlessly without worrying about designated bag capacities.
- ✅ Successful Retrofit Installation: Implemented proper outdoor plumbing while fully utilizing the existing building structure.
■ AIC Specialist Insights
Across municipalities nationwide, collection rules for general commercial waste (such as volume limits and the implementation of processing fees) are becoming stricter every year. Consequently, many facilities face the severe risk of “storing undiscardable food waste." Particularly in nurseries, welfare, and medical facilities, long-term storage of food waste directly translates to critical hygiene risks, including the generation of foul odors, nuisance pests, and ultimately, infectious diseases.
[Professional Know-How] Regarding “Retrofit Installations" in Existing Facilities
