- Recyclables
- PET bottles, paper, food and cosmetic glass bottles, cans and Niigata's specific five items follow separate resource schedules.
- Plastic packaging
- Plastic containers and packaging marked with the plastic symbol are collected separately in a transparent or semi-transparent bag.
- Paper and cloth
- Sort newspapers, magazines, cardboard and other paper by the official category and local collection method; keep recyclable paper clean and dry.

Resident sorting checklist
Minami Ward, Niigata 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.
