To put trash in the trash it must be clean and dry. It must also be sorted into burnables, nonburnables, Recyclables (PET plastic, cans and glass), plastic packaging (yes that is 2 different kinds of plastic) and then Group Collection. Plastic packaging is ramen cups, chip bags, plastic bags and other generic plastic, it must all be wiped or washed clean and dry. Recyclables is what is called PET plastic, plastic bottles and items with the recycle logo and Pet under it, aluminum cans and glass containers, again it must be clean. Group Collection is your paper recyclables, boxes from cereal and a variety of other things too numerous to mention. Burnables is your food trash and items that can burn but not clean paper. Non-burnables are items that do not fall into all the other categories. Of course I consider anything burnable you just have to find the right temperature. They each go in a specific kind of bag and if you get it wrong they will tag the bag and leave it. I am happy to say that in the last week (different trash everyday) I have not gotten a tagged bag. Of course hubbs has not had time to read all the info so I keep having to pull trash out and putting it in the right bag.

Isn't it just amazing how trash/recycling works here? Although it can be really time consuming to sort it all out, I think it is one of the reasons Japan is so eco-friendly and why people here are so conscious about the amount of waste they each have! Great job for not getting a "tagged bag"! :-)
