Can plastic products (toys, stationery, etc.) be put out on the day of collection of "plastic resources" or "plastic containers and packaging"?
Last Updated October 1, 2024
[Persons living in Asahi, Izumi, Isoko, Kanazawa, Konan, Sakae, Seya, Tozuka, and Naka Ward (the method of sorting plastics changed from October 2024)]
Products made of plastic only and whose longest side is less than 50 cm, please put them out once a week on the collection day of "plastic resources". For composites containing materials other than plastic (including batteries, metal, rubber, etc.) with the longest side of less than 50 cm, please submit them twice a week on the collection day of burnable garbage. (If the longest side is 50cm or more, it will be "oversized garbage.")
Anything from a business site cannot be sent to a collection site in household garbage.
[If you live in Aoba, Kanagawa, Kohoku, Tsuzuki, Tsurumi, West, Hodogaya, Green, Minami Ward]
In accordance with the Containers and Packaging Recycling Law, Yokohama City collects only plastic containers and packaging, such as fresh food trays and shampoo bottles. Therefore, products themselves, such as plastic toys and stationery, are not eligible.
Please put out plastic products on the collection day of burnable garbage twice a week.
Anything from a business site cannot be sent to a collection site in household garbage.
