One thing that annoys me most since I have I have moved to my new apartment is the issue of garbage.
The like throwing garbage is a pretty complicated issue, because depending on what city you live, you have rules or otherwise. The theme of recycling and the environment is an issue that is taken into account in Japan, so when throwing trash must know well that throwing garbage. For example, when living at home with Ayumi's parents, had at home a dumping ground for combustibles (paper, food etc) and one for non-combustible things (plastics, metals etc.) in addition to separate glass bottles and glass cans. Once we had all this inside the house divided could go to throw away every day in the corresponding container, except for the cardboard boxes, magazines, newspapers etc who stood in front of home one day a week and spent specifically pick it up.
The issue of garbage where he used was pretty easy, so the houses were very expensive in the area, because it is one of the sites easier to pull away from Tokyo.

Where I live now has a very specific god to pull everything. Things "fuels" have to pull the container on Mondays and Thursdays, although it is quite complicated to understand what they see as fuel, as plastics, CDs and so let him put it all together on the same day.
Tuesdays of each first and third week of the month to pull things noncombustible as pans, small appliances, food cans and so on.
The Tuesday of every second and fourth week are for throwing recyclables such as glass bottles, plastic bottles, cardboard boxes etc, but also throw all this must be properly prepared. The cartons must be folded and fastened in the case of more than one pull. Plastic bottles do not have to carry labels and must be washed first.
Finally, there are bigger things where you have to call to come and pick it up and have to pay for it.

Besides all this, waste must be disposed of in plastic bags so you can see everything you put in the bag and not touching things together one day with things differently and in my case, the waste only can be pulled until 8.00 am each day.

You see, the examples of where I lived before and where I live now are completely different and changed a lot from one city to another, but I guess for an alien who comes to live in Japan and do not know Japanese, you must be a little difficult to understand that day has to throw everything and so on.

Everything described above happens in the stores and also when pulling away on a "conbini" we must look to dump out the trash, like a McDonalds for example.

Then I put a picture of how divided the trash where I live now:
