What this map is made of.
All 5,363 points come from OpenStreetMap, harvested through the Overpass API and rebuilt on 2026-09-12. Every point keeps its OSM id, so any claim on any screen can be opened, audited and corrected at the source.

What we deliberately left out
Residential collection points (ごみステーション) are published as open data by several cities. They are not on this map and never will be: they belong to the households on that street, they are only out on collection mornings, and using one as a visitor is fly-tipping.
Municipal "resource collection box" datasets are also excluded. They are real, well-licensed and precisely located — and they collect milk cartons, foam trays, batteries and small appliances. Nothing a traveller is carrying.
