Higashiyodogawa Ward — Local Waste Context

Higashiyodogawa is Osaka's second-most populous ward and has the Shinkansen (新幹線) running through its southern tip — vibration-resistant collection stations were installed near the elevated track corridor in 2019. The ward straddles the Yodo River at its northern edge, and flood-preparedness protocols mean collection schedules can be suspended during heavy rain events; GomiMate provides real-time alerts for these cancellations.
