Rubble is equivalent to 11 years of waste in Iwate prefecture, and 19 years of waste in Miyagi prefecture – enormous volumes that exceed these regions’ disposal capacity. The cost of waste disposal, estimated at ¥776.7 billion, will be more than double the disposal cost following the Great Hanshin Earthquake.
与阪神大地震相比，东日本大地震的灾后重建工作可谓慢如蜗牛。此次地震的废墟量相当于岩手县11年的垃圾总量，或宫城县19年的垃圾总量——数量之巨远远超过了这些地区的处理能力。垃圾处理成本估计将达7 767亿日元，比阪神大地震高出一倍有余。
