Should the bag be translucent (whether plastic bags can be used as garbage bags)
Last Updated October 27, 2022
In Yokohama City, since February 2000, household garbage and others have been put out in "transparent or translucent bags with clearly visible contents", and if they are translucent, they can put garbage in plastic bags.
In addition, when you put out only shopping bags as garbage, please put them out once a week on the collection day of "plastic containers and packaging".
