How to dispose of hazardous materials

Last updated: February 12, 2020

Be sure to put out "spray cans, lighters, fluorescent lights, batteries" on the monthly collection day for "hazardous materials and metal objects".

In order to prevent accidents and fires at collection vehicles and garbage disposal plants, do not dispose of hazardous materials (flammables) such as spray cans, lighters, fluorescent lights, and dry batteries in combustible, non-combustible, or oversized garbage. Please be sure to put it in a transparent or translucent bag and put it out on the monthly collection day for hazardous materials and metal objects .

In particular, please be aware that spray cans, gas cylinders, lighters, etc. are harmful even if they are empty .

Also, if you cannot use up all of the waste, put it in a transparent or translucent bag without making a hole in it, and put it out on the " Hazardous Materials " day. There is no need to indicate "with contents".

When disposing of products that contain dry batteries, such as radio cassette recorders and remote controls, and lighting fixtures, there are times when the batteries and fluorescent lights are left inside. Please dispose separately as items.

If they are mixed, we will notify you with a warning sticker and will not collect them.
