BEFORE, GARBAGE DISPOSAL WAS SIMPLY DIVIDED INTO BURNABLE OR NON-BURNABLE. BUT IN RECENT YEARS, THERE EXISTS ABOUT 12 DISTINCTIONS OF TRASH. THESE INCLUDE, newspaper, cardboard, milk cartons, books and magazines, other "mixed" paper, rags, cans, bottles, PET bottles, other plastic, and then whatever doesn't fit into these categories is separated into burnable or non-burnable.

There is a major push in Japan to get customers to reduce their use of plastics bags at stores and supermarkets. Some stores charge for plastic bags or give customers discounts if they bring their own bags. Others give out free reusable bags.
