Resident sorting checklist
Minami Ward, Kumamoto residents should confirm the address block, collection station, collection morning, apartment waste-room rule, and bag requirement before setting out trash.
Use the schedule rows as a guide, then verify official ward pages for holidays, temporary changes, bulky waste booking, disposal stickers, hazardous items, and building-specific instructions.
If you are moving, separate ordinary garbage, cardboard, clothing, appliances, furniture, batteries, and spray cans early because they may use different routes and deadlines.
