@GazettExXxVisualKei

The pamphlets are put in our mailboxes .. trucks pick it all up from a central collection area where we leave it ^_^

Thare are some things I don't get. What's the difference between 6-7? There are just cans in both of them. And what about 11,12, and 13? What's the difference between 3 kinds of glass bottles? On the other hand, what is 15 for? Old electronics and...furniture?

@LocalSpambot

Yeah, difficult isn't it ^_^

And here you were making plans for the weekend when you suddenly remember you have to rinse some bottles, take of their taps and labels and pierce some pressure cans...

What's the fine if you do it wrong?

It's like in Germany ^^ We have to divide everything and clean the dirty things before put it in the garbage or glass-container.

I think the Japanese would feel duty-bound to do these sort of things, but I don't know. I suppose it's POSSIBLE for you to do that, because they probably won't check to see that everything is where it is supposed to be or rubbish collection would take too long... then again, I don't think the Japanese would really think of doing something like that.

[EWGFus3r]

whos gonna check if it was YOUR can that wasnt pierced??

@PounceTeazle

Its not overdoing. They just make sure to not waste any still useable ressources.

@Eckendenker

Batteries, gastanks and stuff like that simply go back to the shop.

Im sure i forgot something, but its already 15 different types of "garbage". We germans are pretty japanese, huh?^^

@Eckendenker

Refund bottles and cans -wich are in fact all beverages- are taken back to the stores. You sort them glas (beer bottles for example are usualls sold in a box of 20), cans and plastic bottles.

Now for electronic junk. You have to bring em to a buyback centre (but its without buyback), where you can sort it in Handys, Washmashine etc.

You can also bring old furniture or else to this centres, but they are mostly disposed of at special days on the edge of the road, to get picked up.

[Eckendenker]

Actually it is not that different in germany. We just dont put it all in front of our houeses but bring the stuff to special containers.

At home u sort plastic, paper, organic and non-recycleable garbage. Then you bring all your old bottles and cans (without refund) to containers and sort them in colors and cans. But they get cleaned, so you just make sure they arent filthy anymore. There are containers in every town, usually at malls or public places.
