Sumida is home to the Tokyo Skytree (634 m) and is a traditional 'shitamachi' (low city) crafts district with 3,500+ small manufacturers. Factory offcuts and craft materials require special disposal — the ward issues separate collection days for 'small industrial waste' not available anywhere else in Tokyo's 23 wards.
