- Spray cans do not go with cans. Put them in the city-designated yellow basket as bottles and spray cans (use up the contents; no need to puncture them)
- Soak up leftover cooking oil you cannot use with cloth or paper and put it out as burnable garbage
- 18-liter square cans from businesses and commercial paint cans cannot be put out
- Household paint cans can explode, so use up the contents completely and wipe out what is left with old cloth before putting them out (cans whose contents have fully hardened are non-burnable garbage; cans the size of an 18-liter square can or larger are oversized garbage)
