Depending on where you live, there are designated days for putting out each type of garbage. Garbage will not be collected unless it is sorted in the correct way, on the designated days, and put out by 8am. In addition, if there are rules established by your neighborhood association, condominium management association, etc. (such as writing your group or unit number on garbage bags), please follow these as well. For detailed instructions on how to separate and dispose of garbage, please refer to the foreign language versions of the "Quick Guide to Separating and Disposing of Household Garbage and Resources" and "Garbage Calendar."

Public housing is provided at low rent to low-income people who are in housing difficulty.

Neighborhood associations (local government associations) are organizations made up of local residents, and as a place for mutual assistance and friendship within the local community, they carry out activities such as crime prevention and community welfare activities, neighborhood cleanups, and recreation. Neighborhood associations also provide announcements from the city hall and the local area, information useful for daily life, and conduct disaster prevention drills in preparation for the occurrence of a disaster.
In order to live a safe and comfortable life, it is very important to join a neighborhood association. The procedure for joining is carried out by each neighborhood association. If you do not know the contact information for your neighborhood association, please contact us.
