7) How to take out garbage
Garbage must be taken out to the garbage collection point by the city's method, by type of garbage, by 9:00 on the designated day of the week. However, in our house, we bury food waste in the garden instead of putting it out as garbage. Also, if paper is put in the paper box and it is full, the host will take it to the paper collection point. ● Please bury food waste in the garden.
● Please put garbage to be taken to the garbage collection site in a transparent plastic bag.
transparent plastic bags are the bags you put things you buy at the supermarket in.
Super market "Konomiyaya" will put them in for free, but other supermarkets charge for them.
● Days to put out each type of garbage.
Please put out each type of garbage in the morning before the garbage truck comes. However, in my house, we bury food waste and put paper in the paper box, put glass bottle and can in the bottle and can box, so we only take out the following to the garbage collection site.
Please wash off any food particles that may be stuck to plastic and pet garbage before putting it in the bag.
(1) Incinerated garbage (miscellaneous garbage) Tuesday and Friday mornings, before the garbage truck comes.
(2) Garbage with the plastic garbage mark or PET bottle garbage mark,is the garbage truck's turn on Thursday mornings.
