Important Notes
Collection schedules and sorting rules may change. Please check the official website for the latest information.
- From October 1, 2026, items that do not fit in a 45-liter designated bag are Oversized Items (until September 30, items exceeding 30 cm square)
- If the bag cannot be tied shut securely (e.g., closed with packing tape, or covered from above with a second bag), it is treated as Oversized Items
- Through October 30 (Fri), 2026, only if you cannot obtain designated bags, you may use colorless transparent bags or semi-transparent bags whose contents are easily visible (temporary measure; for Burnable and Non-burnable Garbage, label the bag "可燃ごみ" (Burnable Garbage) or "不燃ごみ" (Non-burnable Garbage)). From November 2 (Mon), 2026, use designated bags (for Plastic Resources, a colorless transparent bag of 45 liters or less that your household no longer needs can also be used). The city asks residents to plan to use up, no later than October 30 (Fri), 2026, any colorless transparent or semi-transparent bags already bought for the temporary measure, or to use them for other purposes
