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?
Nagoya uses designated garbage bags for burnable and non-burnable waste, with resource bags or transparent bags depending on the item. Check the ward-area calendar because plastic resources are collected weekly.
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.
