Things to note when bringing directly to a garbage disposal facility:

  1. No advance reservations are required.
  2. Garbage that cannot be disposed of by the city will not be accepted, so please dispose of it appropriately.
  3. Please separate garbage and secure it so that it does not fall during transport.
  4. When bringing it to the garbage disposal facility, please separate garbage in the same way as when you put it out at a garbage station, and put any garbage that fits into the designated 40L bags into the designated bags before bringing it. If the garbage is not in use, it cannot be accepted (excluding garbage that can be brought with a processing ticket on a pay-per-use bases).
  5. When bringing the garbage to the garbage disposal facility, please show something that shows your address (such as your residence card or driver's license) to confirm that the garbage came from within Higashihiroshima City.

  6. Vehicles up to 4 tonnes in size can be brought to the garbage disposal facility (long bodies not allowed).

  7. First, the item will be weighed on the reception scale, and then it will be weighed again after it has been unloaded.

  8. Please be careful as large transport vehicles and other vehicles will be driving around the disposal facility.

  9. You cannot bring construction garbage generated by contractors' work.

  10. If you are bringing garbage that would not normally be disposed of as household garbage, we will ask for confirmation from the city at the reception desk and may refuse to bring it on the day.

  11. If you are bringing a large amount of garbage with a total volume of more than 350 kg or more than 60 kg/day of concrete blocks, roofing tiles, etc., you will need to have the Waste Management Division inspect the items in advance, and present the ‘Application for Confirmation of Processing of General Solid Garbage (Moving Garbage/Large Quantities of Temporary Gargabe) (hereinafter referred to as the ‘Application’)’.

Please avoid bringing in items that can be brought with a processing ticket (※) together with other items!

Please note that if you bring garbage that can be brought with a processing ticket on a pay-per-use basis, garbage that can be brought for free (oversized garbage, newspapers, magazines/miscellaneous paper, cardboard), and garbage that should be put out in designated garbage bags together in your vehicle and take them to the processing facility, you will have to unload and weigh the garbage multiple times for each type of garbage, which will take time and effort.

Items that can be brought with a processing ticket on a pay-per-use basis

  1. Pruned branches
  2. Grass clippings
  3. Fallen leaves
  4. Roof tiles
  5. Concrete shells, etc. (concrete blocks, bricks)
  6. Items approved by the city upon application

Except for construction garbage, if a large amount of garbage is generated due to cleaning up or moving, or when bringing without putting the garbage in the designated bags, a city employee must inspect the garbage in advance and an application must be submitted.

  3. Bring a copy of the confirmed application to the disposal facility.
    *If you bring the garbage without putting it in a designated garbage bag based on the application, please purchase a disposal ticket for 130 yen per 20 kg on a pay-per-use basis to pay the disposal fee. (130 yen for 20 kg or less. If it exceeds 20 kg, 130 yen will be added for each 20 kg.)

When bringing in pruned branches, grass clippings, or fallen leaves(剪定枝・刈り草・落ち葉を持ち込む場合)

If you are bringing pruned branches, grass clippings, or fallen leaves directly, you can do one of the following:

  • Bring them in a designated bag (orange) as burnable garbage
  • Bring them by paying a handling fee based on the weight of the garbage with a disposal ticket (130 yen/20 kg). (If you are bringing only pruned branches, grass clippings, or fallen leaves, and the weight is under 350 kg, you do not need to submit an application.)

When bringing the garbage, if the amount you are bringing exceeds 350 kg (the load capacity of one light truck), you must first have the Waste Management Division inspect the garbage, then submit an application and have it confirmed.

If you do not have a confirmed application form at the time of bringing the garbage, the processing facility may refuse to accept the garbage.

However, we will dispatch a special processing vehicle (Town Beaver) to recycle pruned branches (chip them) free of charge upon request from residents, so please feel free to use it. Please see the following link for details.
