| The garbage disposal system depends on local
authorities. In general, you must separate burnables, cans and
bottles, plastics, and bulky waste. You might need to use special
bags (usually transparent garbage bags). You must take your
trash out by the set time and put it in the proper place. For
more details, call your local authority. |
| In most of Wakayama, they use propane gas. When
you start to use it, you can call the number on the gas meter.
A service person will visit your residence to open the main
valve. You must be at home at that time. |
