Separate and Dispose of Garbage and Recyclables

Version for preservation New Let’s reduce waste by half! Acceptable Ways to separate and dispose of garbage and recyclables

Kyoto City aims to reduce the annual amount of garbage to 390,000 tons (FY 2020), less than half than the amount in the peak period. Now that the pace of reduction has been slowing, we ask for your cooperation in further decreasing the amount of waste!

Meguru-kun I’m named after the basic concept of recycling – “Circulate and return” (“meguru” in Japanese). Kyoto City is the first government ordinance city that produces paid plastic bags for household garbage disposal, 10% of which is made from biomass plastics derived from inedible parts of sugar corns and other materials. These bags have already come into use! Kogomi-chan (Bioplastic version) I’m named Kogomi (small garbage) as a reminder to “Reduce waste as if you are losing weight.”

Environmental Policy Bureau Issued in March 2019 Read this first Rules of Common rules on garbage collected discarding garbage regularly in Kyoto City

Rule 1: Use Kyoto City’s designated plastic bags for household garbage Kyoto City has introduced its own designated paid plastic bags. There are two types of designated bags: one for combustible garbage and one for recyclables.

Use this transparent bag for cans, Use this yellow bag for combustible glass bottles, PET bottles, plastic garbage! containers and packages!

Garbage discarded using bags other than the designated ones will not be collected, and will be marked with a “Non-acceptable” sticker. For small metal objects and spray cans, use transparent bags through which the contents can be seen. Do not use city- designated paid bags. Apartment buildings for which private contractors collect garbage may have different rules from those of Kyoto City. Please confirm arrangements with the administrator of your apartment building. P13, P14 Rule 2: Thoroughly separate types of garbage before discarding Household garbage is classified into various types from the standpoint of recycling. Separate and dispose of each type of garbage in the correct manner. DO NOT put recyclable Garbage bags including unsuitable items will not be collected paper into combustible and will be marked with a “Non-acceptable” sticker. garbage. Rule 3: Do not dispose of commercial waste You cannot dispose of commercial waste from shops, offices or accommodation facilities as household garbage. Contact a disposal contractor licensed by Kyoto City or take such waste to the Incineration Plant of Kyoto City by yourself. P20

Rules you should follow when disposing of garbage Leave garbage and recyclables at The weight of one bag should not the designated pickup point in your be more than can be lifted with one hand, and community by 8:00 a.m. on collection you should discard about two bags at most days.

Some apartment buildings in Kyoto City need daily or night-time garbage collection. For such apartment buildings, private contractors collect garbage for the city. In this case, use colorless or white translucent bags instead of the city-designated paid bags. Even when waste collection is conducted by private contractors, garbage should be sorted out by type in accordance with the Kyoto City rules on garbage separation.

If you live in an apartment building, etc., from which private contractors collect garbage, use colorless or white translucent bags Do not use the city- for garbage disposal. designated paid bags.

Usable bags Unusable bags Use strong colorless or white translucent bags. Do not use bags colored black or blue, or cardboard “Translucent” here means that newspaper sheets boxes. You cannot use the designated paid garbage placed in the bag should be legible from the outside. bag for combustibles (yellow bag), either. You can use commercially available bags sold at supermarkets as long as they are transparent.

Be sure to separate “Recyclable paper,” “Cans, glass bottles and PET bottles,” “Plastic containers and packages,” and “Small metal objects and spray cans.” Even when garbage collection is conducted by private contractors, make sure to separate the recyclable items mentioned above from other Combustible garbage before disposal.

About Caution sticker If the rules are not followed (e.g. garbage is not put into a transparent bag or not separated adequately, or oversized garbage is mixed in), collection contractors put a caution sticker on the garbage bag and leave it at the collection site.

Why aren’t the city-designated paid bags used when private contractors collect garbage? The cost of city-designated paid bags includes the charge for disposing of garbage, which is already included in collection charges by private contractors. Using city-designated paid bags means the city gets paid twice for disposal. Therefore, residents of apartment buildings from which private contractors collect garbage should use colorless or white transparent bags instead of city-designated paid bags. 13 How to separate and dispose of garbage Ways to separate and discard garbage differ among apartment buildings. For example, some buildings entrust only Combustible garbage collection to private contractors. Be sure to ask the management company of your apartment building for the rules on how to discard garbage. Recyclables other than those listed below are also collected at community collection services. We ask Cans, bottles, PET bottles/ Plastic bottles, Cans, containers and packages for your cooperation in waste separation and collection to promote the recycling of limited resources.
