Recycling Cans and Bottles Cans, metal products and glass bottles are collected separately and recycled. Pick-up is once every two weeks. Your pick-up spot has a notice indicating collections days. There is a fee for the collection of large household items such as desks, chairs, television sets, futons, refrigerators, heaters and bicycles. Write your name and address on the form and pay the fee at a bank or post office in Yokohama.
Stickers are color-coded according to the size of the item.
Affix the appropriate sticker to each item for pick-up. If the collections days for household garbage are Monday, Wednesday and Friday, put the batteries out on Wednesday. If the collection days are Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, put them out on Thursday. Things the City Will Not Collect To dispose of motorbikes, tires, car batteries, gasoline, kerosene, paint, propane gas cans, fire extinguishers, safes and pianos, ask for advice from stores that sell such items.
