Starting tomorrow, October 1 (Sun.), Ashiya City’s “designated garbage bag system” will be fully implemented. That means “burnable garbage” and “other non-burnable garbage” will no longer be collected unless they’re put out in “Ashiya City designated garbage bags”〜!

↑This is the 5L household type “Ashiya City designated garbage bag” with handles. Don’t forget to check the box at the bottom of the bag for non-burnable garbage〜

↑There are all kinds of options depending on size, whether they have handles, the manufacturer, and so on, so it might be worth trying a few and finding the one you like best. Apparently prices also vary by store!

↑It looks like the number of stores carrying them has increased quite a bit. At this drugstore, “Lifort Uchide Store”…

↑The garbage bags were displayed in a very noticeable spot outside the store, next to the entrance.

↑And at this convenience store, “Lawson Ashiya Hamacho Store”…

↑There was a sign outside the store saying they carry the “designated garbage bags”! It’s helpful that the prices are listed by type, too〜
According to the list of stores selling Ashiya City designated garbage bags, they’re also available on online shopping sites such as Rakuten Ichiba and Yahoo! Shopping. So if you prefer shopping online, or if you want to collect Rakuten or PayPay points, that’s also an option!
