Each locality has its own rules; one mistake can affect the whole neighborhood.

Illustration Waste sorting in Japan: a detailed guide for new trainees

In Japan, waste is usually split into burnable, non-burnable, resource (plastic, can, bottle) and oversized.

Each type has its own collection day per local schedule; use the correct labels and bags.

When new, ask the dormitory manager or Trang An's representative in Japan for the schedule and sorting rules.
