Garbage Day

Here in Japan, garbage is a complex process. First you have to sort out the recyclables (into glass, plastic, tin cans, steel cans, and food trays) and the special items (batteries, light bulbs, hairspray cans, and the like). Then twice a week you carry your garbage to the trash collection point. Some folks have different bags for burnable and non-burnable trash. I read about one city that has over 20 different categories for trash.
