Q&A related to sorting

What can be removed should be separated into a metal frame and a cloth / vinyl part.
Even if the metal frame is 30 cm or more, please put it out in a bag as "small metals" (the same day as "cans, bottles, plastic bottles"). If you have more than one, please fly it out.
Put the cloth and vinyl part in a transparent or translucent bag and put it out as "burnable garbage".
If there are parts that cannot be removed, please put them out as "small metals" as they are.

If you want to put it in burnable garbage, put it in a hard container where you can check the contents and close the lid.

From October 2024, how to separate and dispose of "plastic garbage" differs depending on the ward where you live in in order to promote the separation and recycling of "plastic garbage".
For details, please refer to the following link depending on your ward.

※From April 2025, it will be the same way in all wards.

Remove anything that can be easily peeled off. If it's difficult to remove, you can leave it on.

Use up the contents of bags and tubes. For trays, cups, bottles, etc., use the remaining water from dishwashing as much as possible to lightly rinse or remove dirt.

Please make sure that the bulky items are smaller or stacked.
In addition, please use center recycling and store collection of supermarkets (milk packs, food trays, plastic bottles, cans, bottles, etc.).

The mark is an identification display for "paper containers and packaging", which is a guide to being paper, but some are not applicable by Yokohama City separation.
Paper packs with aluminum affixed inside and cup noodle paper containers should be put out as burnable garbage instead of recycle paper.

recycle paper and used cloth are collected by private collection companies contracted by local organizations such as Neighborhood Association and Neighborhood Associations.
For this reason, the registered organization and the collection company determine the contents of the collection date and collection place.
For the collection date, see the blue sticker affixed to the collection place.
If you can't find the blue sticker, we'll check it out at the collection office in Resources and Waste Recycling Bureau. Please contact the Resources and Waste Recycling Bureau office in your ward with detailed information on Address.

From the viewpoint of promoting recycling, we would like you to use paper strings and paper bags as much as possible to avoid mixing anything other than paper, but if you do not have it, tie them with vinyl strings or "Other paper" You can put it in a translucent bag.
