I am working on a recycling bin/garbage bin location website. It's purpose is to find the nearest bin for you to throw away trash that you may have in your hand. It currently has 700,000+ bins from OSM data and users can add as well.I want to add some features like getting walking directions to the nearest bins and probably having to create am account to add a bin to handle the case of slamming. Here is the site https://recyclair.eu.org


Please do this for Japan. It's a bit disconcerting as visitor to have to carry the wrappers for everything you buy around until you can find a trash can. And everything is so highly packaged there.


The mistake you have made is leaving the bin at the store before you had consumed the product you bought at the store! At least, that seems to be how they do it. I would buy takeaway coffee and end up holding onto an empty cup for hours as I wandered.

Eventually I just put my rubbish in my bag until I got home. But there is an obscene amount of plastic packaging. I believe they burn or recycle it as least.


Hi!This website already has bins all over the world,including Japan.Since i can not travel all around the world to add bins, i have added the option for people to add bins clicking the top right button "Add bin".Maybe if more users use it they will add bins through out Japan! Best regards


ahh, I see. thanks ! Love it.
