Gomi means garbage. "Gomi no hi" means "the day when you can throw away the garbage".
Monday and Thursday are the day for combustible garbage.
And Wednesday is the day for incombustible garbage. We can throw away the
newspaper or books every two weeks on Wednesday. We throw away
milk cartons, a battery, a fluorescent light, or metal on this day. These things
are for recycle.
The day of large-size refuse is every two weeks on Saturday.
People have to throw away until 8 o'clock. And people can't throw away
before the day because cats trash the garbage. ^^;
I have no idea about how people do in the other country. I guess in Japan,
each city has each rule. So, residents need to follow the rule.
I guess most of the rule is similar like above.
Thanks for reading!

Wow, this sounds stressy... (^-^;;
In Germany we have garbage stations (I don't know how to say it else...). They are open from 9am-12pm and 13:30pm-16:00pm for example (each is different)
There are a lot of different containers: glass, paper, milk cartons, battery, garden stuff, old furniture, etc, etc, etc
You have to go there by yourself and sort everything to the right containers.
It's about the same in France... except for pollutant objects like battery and voluminous objects, we have to go by ourselves to a place where they are collected...

Oh,you can threw away in the afternoon? It is interesting.
In Japan, I guess usually, we have to go in the morning.

Can you throw away in the afternoon?
This system looks very complicated, here in Lithuania there are containers near almost every building in cities. You can throw the trash away at any time. A truck comes in the morning to pick up the trash. In some buildings there are pipes you can throw trash into, so you don't need to go outside at all. There are often separate containers for organic, glass, plastic and paper.
Oh, you can throw away at any time in Lithuania?
It must be convenient.
"Garbage stations" in France are open in the afternoon yes... but there aren't a lot of this places (maybe about 1 for 5 cities...)
For the combustibles garbages, it's 2 times a week, in the morning a truck comes to take them.

Oh, I see.
I guess the combustibles garbages
are under same rule in Japan.
In Russia, you can throw any garbage at any time, as well as in Lithuania. In some homes have a special tube for small debris (in the basement under the pipe is dumpster for this). Near the houses are located dumpsters. For the average (anyone not sorted garbage), so in some places there is dumpster bulk rubbish (furniture, for example). This may seem convenient for you. But there is a downside - if time does not change the full dumpster to empty the garbage dumped on the ground (by a dumpster) and can outgrowth large garbage mountain. This can be seen quite often. Therefore, Russia - this is not the cleanest country. It's a shame!

I see. Thanks for telling
about Russia.
Maybe there are some differences
between our countries.
That's interesting.
