Japan takes recycling seriously.
Trash must be divided into seven categories: combustible, noncombustible, hazardous, bottles & glass, cans, paper & fabric, and PET plastic bottles. Trash must then be placed in a municipally approved plastic bag and labeled with a sticker (available at your city hall or town office).
Each type of garbage is picked up once or twice per month.*
Large garbage - furniture, electronics, etc. - must be scheduled to be picked up by a trash service at your expense.
Failure to correspond with trash laws will result in the termination of trash services for your domicile. You must then make arrangements with a trash service at your expense.
Paraphrased.
*At my building bottles, for example, are picked up on the third Wednesday of every month. Ugh.
