Garbage |
|
 |
Recycling in Japan is complex, but imperative for its contribution to sustainable
living in Japan. Please use the specially marked garbage collection bags
available at most grocery and convenience stores when disposing of your
garbage. Garbage collections schedules vary according to your location,
so check with your Local Resident's Association for the pick-up days in
your area. It is forbidden to take out your garbage in place of other districts.
Garbage will be collected at 8.30am on the allocated days.
