Recycling and organizing home appliances

■ Sorting garbage in daily life ■

Please help us separate our garbage!

Recently, there has been a lot of garbage not being collected at the garbage collection site.
The main reasons are:

Not using designated Nagoya City garbage bags
The two main reasons are that waste is not being sorted properly .

If your garbage is not sorted and disposed of correctly, it may not be collected or collection may be delayed.
In addition, abandoned garbage can cause bad odors and attract damage from crows and rats.

*For clusters outside of Nagoya City, please refer to the website of each local government.

(Note) When disposing of the four types of home appliances, do not hand them over to a junk removal company.

(Note) With the exception of some appliances that are not subject to the Home Appliance Recycling Law (such as PC recycling appliances and products that use fluorocarbons), they can be disposed of as bulky waste.
