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?
Yokohama generally asks residents to use transparent or semi-transparent bags so contents can be checked. Some recyclable paper is tied or placed in paper bags, so follow the category row for your ward.
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.
