Still finding yesterday's trash by the door?
Garbage Day Reminder sends you two alerts for every collection — one the
night before so you can get the bags ready, and one on pickup morning so you
actually take them out.
There's no municipality list to search through. You enter your own bin day
schedule, so it works in any city, town, or village.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
WHO IT'S FOR
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
- You keep missing garbage day and living with the bags until next week
- You check the calendar every time to remember which bin it is
- Your pickup schedule is complicated — every other week, or the 2nd and
4th Tuesday
- You've just moved somewhere new and haven't learned the rhythm yet
- Someone else in the house always forgets, and you're the one who notices
- You're a foreign resident in Japan and the local trash calendar is hard
to read

WHAT IT DOES
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
■ Two alarms per collection
Evening and morning, with separate notification times you can set for each
type of waste.
■ Color-coded by category
Burnable red, non-burnable blue, bottles and cans green — matching the colors
on the collection poster, so you recognize it at a glance.
■ Every recurrence pattern
Weekly, every two weeks, the nth weekday of the month, fixed dates, month-end,
or fully irregular. If your city does it, you can enter it.
■ The "4th Monday" problem, solved
Some places mean the fourth Monday that occurs. Others mean the Monday of the
fourth week. These are different days, and most trash reminder apps silently
pick one. You choose — and the editor previews your next three collection
dates as you set it, so you can check against your calendar before you save.
■ Holidays and year-end
Set whether pickup runs on national holidays, per waste type. Exclude date
ranges for New Year suspensions or any other break in service.
■ Home screen widget
See your next garbage day on the home screen without opening the app.
■ Month view
The whole month's rubbish collection schedule at a glance, color-coded.
