Summary
Nagoya City has announced a pilot program for parts of Mizuho Ward that will switch the collection method for four categories of recyclables from station-based collection to door-to-door collection, starting in April 2026.
Key Points from the Official Notice
- According to Nagoya City’s official notice, the four affected categories are glass bottles, cans, PET bottles, and paper packaging/mixed paper.
- According to the official notice, the pilot will run for two years, from April 2026 through the end of March 2028.
- According to the official notice, the pilot covers only parts of five school districts in Mizuho Ward (Yomei, Toyooka, Honami, Yatomi, and Takada) — not the entire area of each district.
- According to Nagoya City’s official notice, recyclables will be collected from the same location as burnable garbage (in principle, in front of each household), and the neighborhood resource collection stations will be suspended for the duration of the pilot.
- According to the official notice, residents who put their garbage out at a shared collection point for an apartment or condominium building will see no change.
