Caution
A new bin collection rule was introduced from October 1st 2017. In the new rule, the 46 bulky rubbishes are collected as a pre-paid rubbish. When disposing of your bulky rubbishes, you may have to pay a removal fee in advance. To understand the details of the new bin collection rule, please have a look at “Katano’s Bin Collection Manual“.
Katano City collects burnable rubbishes twice a week and plastic rubbishes once a week. Bin collection dates are dependent on your residence area.
The violation of the bin collection rule may cause a unnecessary trouble with your neighbours. If throwing away your rubbishes, check your area’s bin collection date.
