Resident sorting checklist

Midori Ward, Saitama 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.

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?

Saitama uses the city sorting dictionary and district calendar rather than one simple bag rule. Confirm the item name, ward or district, set-out time, and whether oversized garbage requires advance reservation and a fee sticker.

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.
