FAQ
How do I find my exact garbage day?
Choose your ward first, then confirm the address block or collection station. Large apartments can have their own internal waste room rules.
Do I need a special garbage bag?
Fukuoka City designated bags are required for household categories, and many areas use night collection. Put bags out during the allowed evening window for your district, not the previous morning.
How do I dispose of bulky waste?
Bulky waste requires advance booking, a fee, and a disposal sticker or confirmation number. Do not leave large items at a station without booking.
