"Cleanup Responsible Project" refer to projects that are responsible for the project place and waiting room that they used, and must undergo a Cleaning Check by the Committee.

If your project uses the Outdoor Block or waiting room alone, your project will automatically become the Cleanup Responsible Project.
If your project shares an Outdoor Block with other projects, discuss with other project managers who share the same Block to select one project as a Cleanup Responsible Project among them at the Discussion on Place and Time Allocation, which will be held at the 2nd Information Session.
- Cleanup Responsible Projects of Outdoor Blocks and Agriculture Athletic Field are exempted from dispatching Temporary Staff.
The Cleanup Responsible Projects of waiting rooms will be selected by the Committee. We will inform you of the decision in "Confirmation of Request Results".

Failure to comply with the duty to conduct a Cleaning Check may result in Punishments.

A Substitute Cleanup Responsible Project is a project that will be responsible for the cleanup if the original Cleanup Responsible Project is canceled.
- The project will stay as a Cleanup Non-Responsible Project as long as the Cleanup Responsible Project does not get canceled.
- If the Cleanup Responsible Project of your area is canceled, we will contact you via Inquiry.
If a Substitute Cleanup Responsible Project shifts to a Cleanup Responsible Project, it will be exempted from dispatching Temporary Staff.
Please discuss with other project managers that share the same Outdoor Block to choose the Block’s Substitute Cleanup Responsible Project in the Discussion on Place and Time Allocation, held in the 2nd Information Session.

Projects other than the Cleanup Responsible Project of the area are called Cleanup Non-Responsible Projects.
Cleanup Non-Responsible Projects must undergo a Cleaning Check from the Cleanup Responsible Project you share the same project place or waiting room with.
Cleanup Non-Responsible Projects that use an Outdoor Block or a waiting room for a limited amount of time must undergo a Cleaning Check from the subsequent project before they leave.
