If the Tokyo Metropolitan Earthquake occurs, a massive amount of disaster waste will be generated. As the first step for disposal of the waste, the waste is collected into temporary storage close to the places that generated said waste. After that, it is necessary to transport the waste to secondary temporal storage locations and perform intermediate treatment, disposal, and recycling promptly.
Therefore, focusing on the ports that have vast land and sea space in the center of the Tokyo Metropolitan Area, we studied the process of transporting waste to secondary temporal storage locations. We then studied the storage, treatment, disposal, and recycling of the disaster waste in the port areas. Then, we grasped a concept model for disposing of and recycling disaster waste by using the port areas. To measure the validity of the concept model, we assessed transportation, storage, disposal, and recycling of the disaster waste by using Tokyo Port’s area in the event that occurs. The study results showed that each examination item was expected to fit on a realistic scale.
