+# Trash Disposal Guide: Uruma City (Thomas Akamichi 905)
+
+### 1. Essential Gear
+You must purchase **Uruma City Designated Trash Bags** from a convenience store or supermarket. Trash in plain plastic bags will not be collected and may result in a **¥3,000 fine**.
+* **Red Text Bags:** For "Burnables" (可燃ごみ - Moyaseru Gomi).
+* **Blue Text Bags:** For "Non-Burnables" (不燃ごみ - Moyasenai Gomi).
+
+### 2. Sorting Categories
+
+#### **Category A: Burnable Trash (Red Bags)**
+* **Items:** Food scraps (drain all liquid first), paper waste, tissue, clothing, rubber, and leather.
+* **Protocol:** Tie the bag tightly. Ensure no recyclables are mixed in.
+
+#### **Category B: Non-Burnable Trash (Blue Bags)**
+* **Items:** Metal items, glass, ceramics, small appliances (toasters, etc.), and umbrellas.
+* **Protocol:** For broken glass or needles, wrap them in thick paper and write **"KIKEN" (DANGER)** on the outside for the safety of the collectors.
+
+#### **Category C: Recyclables (Clear Bags or Bins)**
+* **Plastic Packaging:** Food trays, plastic wrap, and containers (rinse first).
+* **PET Bottles:** Remove caps and labels (dispose of these as plastic packaging). Rinse the bottle.
+* **Cans:** Aluminum and steel. Rinse thoroughly.
+* **Glass Bottles:** Rinse and separate by color if specific bins are provided at the site.
+* **Cardboard:** Flatten and tie with string.
+
+#### **Category D: Hazardous Waste**
+* **Items:** Batteries, lighters, and fluorescent bulbs.
+* **Protocol:** Look for a specific small box or tray at the collection point designated for these items.
+
+### 3. Collection Logistics
+* **Location:** Check the **Red Circle** on the photo provided by Kikuchi-san.
+* **Time:** Trash must be out by **8:30 AM** on the scheduled morning.
+* **Restriction:** Do **NOT** put trash out the night before (to prevent issues with crows/stray cats).
+* **Schedule:** Locate the colorful **Collection Calendar** in the building’s common area (usually near the entrance) to find the specific days for "Akamichi."
+
+### 4. Move-Out Requirements
+* **Total Clearance:** You must dispose of all trash before your check-out on May 20th.
+* **Final Penalty:** Any trash bags left in the room or common areas after check-out will result in a **¥3,000 per bag** charge.
