Convenience Store Bins (コンビニのゴミ箱 - Konbini Gomi)
The trash cans located near the entrance of convenience stores (inside or outside). They are intended strictly for packaging or empty cups bought at that store. Stuffing general household trash here is highly restricted.
Offered as a courtesy convenience for customers. Due to severe abuse by people dumping massive bags of house food scraps to save money, stores are increasingly moving trash bins inside near cashiers to monitor use.
Only discard trash immediately generated from products bought there (like empty plastic cups, onigiri wraps). Do not bring plastic shopping bags stuffed with hotel waste or outside trash to slide inside.
