- 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.

Yodogawa Ward — Local Waste Context
Yodogawa Ward hosts Shin-Osaka Station (新大阪駅) — Japan's second-busiest Shinkansen hub — making it a major transit gateway for both domestic and international visitors. The Umeda Sky Building (梅田スカイビル), a landmark double-tower with aerial rooftop walkway, is also in this ward. The Shinkansen maintenance facility (新幹線の車両基地) spans a large section of the ward's northwest, creating a buffer zone around which residential collection routes must navigate.
