Request regarding “garbage separation” and “use of resource collection station”
In Furano City, garbage is separated into 14 types with the aim of effectively utilizing resources and reducing environmental impact.
Neighborhood associations pool money to install and manage each recyclable garbage collection station.
There are rules regarding the use of the recyclable garbage collection stations, so please check with your neighborhood association about the rules when using them.
If you have any questions about the separation rules, please contact the Furano City Hall Environment Division.

For more details, please look at the document attached.
1. Recyclable garbage collection stations are not public property.
They are set up and managed by the neighborhood association members who live in the area. Depending on the area, you may need to join a neighborhood association to use the service, regardless of how long you live there.
2. Check the garbage collection calendar and put your garbage out accordingly by 9:00 a.m. on the date of disposal.
Do not put your garbage out other than on the designated collection date, so as to keep the area neat and clean,and also to keep animals (e.g. crows etc.) away.
3. Separate garbage correctly and be sure to use designated bags for disposal.
Garbage that is not separated correctly will not be collected.
A red "warning sticker" will be placed on the garbage bag.
4. If your garbage bag is uncollected, please take it home with you and separate it again.
Check that the garbage bag you put out has been collected by the evening on the same day, or the following day.
If a "warning sticker" is attached to the garbage you put out, please take it home, re-separate it, and put it out on the next disposal day.
Please be responsible for your own garbage!
No one wants to touch other people's trash.
Your unattended garbage WILL INCONVENIENCE other people in the neighborhood.
5. Garbage from business offices cannot be sent to resource collection stations!
Only household garbage can be disposed at the resource collection station.
Garbage from business offices is business waste, not household garbage.
Business offices must dispose waste (collection, transport, and disposal) at their own responsibility.
