@itslexib: Let’s talk about the TRASH system in Japan 🗑️😭 There are like 9 different kinds of garbage and they’re all picked up on different days. Sometimes it’s “first Saturday,” sometimes “second and third Tuesdays only,” and I’m just out here trying to figure out if my milk carton is burnable or not. You also have to use specific bags and process everything a certain way — rinse this, flatten that, bundle those with string like it’s an art project 😵‍💫 In the U.S. I just tossed it and kept it moving. Here? It’s an anxiety-inducing ritual 😅 If you’ve ever lived in Japan, tell me: HOW do you remember all this?? #LifeInJapan #JapanCultureShock #JapanProblems #ExpatLife #MovingToJapan #JapanRant #JapaneseTrashSystem #creatorsearchinsights

I’m moving there and that’s one of the things that makes me the most nervous. How long did it take you to get the hang of it?

my life in Tokyo :
Like most things in Japan, it depends on where you live. In my building we have a trash room and we can put anything in that room at any time, including recyclables, trash, oversized trash, etc. Also no one in my building separates their trash or removes labels from bottles and it’s never been a problem. I’m looking for a new apartment now and I’ve found many buildings that have 24/7 trash rooms where you can bring any trash at any time, not on specific days.

OH man, your area is intense!😎 Nagoya was not that 'kuwashii', but i don't miss having to buy those bags every other week. But some of that could have been the apartment (designers mansion) I was last living in, which had bins. Also hcardboard! up carboard!
