How to Dispose of Household Trash
and Recyclables
Trash Disposal Rules

１

Sort your trash and put it out at the designated collection pointby 8:00 a.m. on the collection day.
• The city will not collect trash placed at collection points after collection was made or trash thathas not been properly sorted.
• If you put out trash at night, crows or other animals may rummage through it, and that may
cause foul odors and noise.

By 8:00 a.m.

２

All residents must manage the collection point together.

３

Use anti-bird nets appropriately.

４

Do not dispose of difficult-to-process garbage at trashcollection points.

• Residents should consult with each other, set rules, and use the trash collection point appropriately (putting away
nets and boxes after trash is collected, cleaning, removing illegally dumped items, etc.).
• Put away the city-designated boxes and nets as soon as possible. Leaving them out often
leads to illegal dumping.
• Take measures to prevent strong winds blowing away city-designated boxes and nets.
• For trash collection points handled by a management company, such as for apartments,
please follow the management company’s rules and instructions.

• Make sure the net completely covers the trash bags.
• Take measures to prevent the nets from getting loose when there is a strong wind.
• Anti-bird nets are available at the Environmental Development Section service window,
Resident Service Stations, and Yanasegawa Station Branch Office.

• If you have any questions about how to sort trash, see “How to Dispose of Items That Are Difficult
to Sort” (pp. 7–10) or the Shiki City website. For items that are marked as “Not accepted” in that
list, please contact a retailer or a Shiki City certified general waste collection company to collectthe item (fee required).
