# 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 buildings 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.
### **The "Safe Bet" Summary for Your First Week:**
1. **Red Text Bag:** Everything "gross" or "dirty" (food, tissues, kitchen waste). **Never clear.**
2. **Blue Text Bag:** Metal, glass, ceramics, small electronics. **Never clear.**
3. **Clear/Transparent Bag:** Clean plastics (bread bags, meat trays you've rinsed, strawberry containers) and PET bottles.
4. **No Bag at All:** Cans and Glass Bottles are often placed directly into plastic crates/bins at the collection point rather than in bags.
