Where do you put trash in Japan?

Step by step

1. 01

   Look nearby

   Streets rarely have bins. You find them at convenience stores, stations, beside vending machines, and in malls.

2. 02

   Sort it

   Follow the labels: burnable / PET bottles / cans & glass, etc.

3. 03

   Carry it if needed

   If you cannot find one, put it in a small bag and dispose of it later at your hotel or a konbini.

4. 04

   Konbini bins

   They are mainly for things bought there — avoid dumping large amounts of outside trash.
