Osaka City See-Through Bag Rule
Osaka City does not require a city-specific paid designated household garbage bag. The official rule is to use a transparent or semi-transparent bag whose contents can be seen:- Allowed: clear bags, semi-transparent bags, and colored semi-transparent bags if the contents are easy to identify.
- Not collected: opaque black/blue bags, cardboard boxes, and paper bags when Osaka City staff cannot check the contents.
- Buy anywhere: Osaka City says residents should buy see-through bags at supermarkets or retailers; the city does not manufacture or sell a particular garbage bag.
