Every household should have a government-imposed limit on the amount of rubbish it can throw away. To what extent do you agree? Waste disposal is one of alarming problems facing today's society. Some say that government should limit the amount of rubbish each household can throw away. I generally disagree with this viewpoint because the amount of waste can vary for various factors, from the number and ages of family members to occasional reasons, such as moving and parties. It is unpractical to set a limit on the amount of waste a family produces. Each family has different reasons to throw away a large amount of waste, including number of members, lifestyle and occasional events. Additionally, there is no alternative but to collect rubbish when a household exceeds the limit. Otherwise serious hygienic problems would happen. On the other hand, governments may be able to regulate the amount of rubbish by ruling waste bags. For example, in many cities in Japan, the city governments require households to put their rubbish in the designated plastic bags, which is priced higher than normal bags. This policy encourages families to reduce waste. In conclusion, it is unrealistic to directly impose a limit on the amount of rubbish although government can nadge households to decrease the amount of waste by several measures, such as pricing garbage bags.

It is impractical to set a limit on the amount of waste a family produces. Each family has different reasons for throwing away a large amount of waste, including number of members, lifestyle and occasional events. (This is just repeating what you have already said) Additionally, there is no alternative but to collect rubbish when a household exceeds the limit. Otherwise serious hygiene problems might happen. On the other hand, governments may be able to regulate the amount of rubbish by classifying waste bags. For example, in many cities in Japan, the city governments require households to put their rubbish (what rubbish? Is it checked?) in designated plastic bags, which are priced higher than normal bags.

Interesting about the policy in Japan.
