Waste disposal process in Tokyo?

Question:


I've just moved to Tokyo, and I'm a little confused with the waste disposal process! I have been told to divide my trash up into 'Combustible trash' (moeru gomi), 'Non-Combustible trash' (moenai gomi) and 'Recyclable trash' (shigen gomi).

Can anyone explain which things fall into each of these categories? I understand recyclable - for example plastic bottles and newspapers etc, but I'm not sure about combustible and non-combustible!

Answer:


Something made of paper, textile and wood is basically combustible. Others like something made of metal, plastic, etc, is non-combustible.
