Trash Separation in Japan can be very difficult but is a great thing for the environment. Also, if you don’t follow trash separation rules you can be even kicked out of your apartment. 

Each area has different rules and may even differ from the video, so if unsure contact your local city environmental offices.  Or ask us here in the comment section 🙂

Of course, increasing your use of reusable materials and producing less trash is the best thing. Be aware and whether in Japan or a different country find out how you can give back to this wonderful planet we live on.
