A World With No Trash Can
The presence of trash cans is essential in large cities to maintain cleanliness and tidiness. However, in Japan, you will often find a scarcity of public trash cans. This is rooted in a historical context that has led to this unusual practice in the country.
In Japan, it’s not uncommon for people to dispose of trash indiscriminately in designated piles, which are later cleaned up by workers. For foreigners visiting or living in Japan, the most practical approach is to take any trash home and dispose of it properly, as finding a public trash can can be quite challenging in the country.
