Rubbish Collection at the Chalets

Otherwise, it seems to me you have two alternatives: either take your rubbish back to Tokyo or, if you are willing to pay me an extra fee of 2,000 Yen per month, I will pick up your trash (and take it to the appropriate place) if you will separate it as follows: Category 1 Trash (food scraps, waste paper, etc.) in one bag, Category 2 Trash (plastic, vinyl, synthetics, etc.) in another bag, and in separate bags a) metal items and b) glass items except Category 7 (dangerous items). Put dangerous items (mirrors, batteries, fluorescent bulbs, etc.) in a separate bag.

Notes

Burnable Rubbish

• Category 1 and Category 2 items are to be put in the (separate) white bags with green lettering. Otherwise they will not be collected.
• Raw garbage, leftover food, etc., should have as much fluid as possible drained away and then be wrapped in newspaper before being put in bag.
• Please remove excrement from disposable diapers before putting them in bags.
• Please break thinks such as sharp-pointed bamboo skewers so that they are no longer dangerous.
• Please cut such things as front-door mats down to 30 cm size.
• Cut wood to below 30 cm in length.
• Please remove metal fittings from belts, handbags, etc.
• If you wish, you may take your rubbish directly, in appropriate bags, to the Oku Tone 'Amenity Park' in Niiharu village. In this case it is free so there is no need to attach a trash disposal ticket to the bags.

Non-Burnable Rubbish

• Non-burnable rubbish goes in the transparent bags with blue lettering.
• When putting out non-burnable items, do not place them in other bags or paste-board boxes before putting them in the town-approved bags.
• Non-burnable items too large for garbage bags (such as Category 6 items) must have an 80 Yen trash disposal ticket, with your name on it, attached to them (one ticket for each item too large for garbage bags).
• Bottles and cans must be emptied and lightly rinsed before being put out.
• Please remove all caps or covers from bottles; bottle caps to be thrown out with Category 5 items.
• Rugs and carpets must be cut into strips under 30 cm x 300 cm.
• Spray cans, gas cassette cylinders, etc. are dangerous. Please empty them completely and (in the open air) puncture them before throwing them out.
• Please wrap in heavy paper such dangerous things as broken glass. sharp pointed objects, etc.
• Put each Category 7 (Dangerous items) thing into a separate garbage bag (an ordinary vinyl garbage bag; not the town-approved bags). Do not break fluorescent or mercury bulbs; put them into the containers they came in and then into garbage bags.
• Category 7 rubbish collection is free.
• If you wish, you may take yourself your rubbish (in appropriate bags) and large items ('sodai gomi'), that you want to dispose of to the Oku Tone 'Amenity Park' in Niiharu village. In this case it is free so there is no need to attach a trash disposal ticket to the large items which cannot fit into the garbage bags.
