About this app

Garbage day, the night before.

Dashitene reminds you of garbage collection days in Japan the evening before or the morning of. Enter the days just as your city's garbage calendar writes them: "1st & 3rd Wednesday", "Monday of week 2", "every other Tuesday".

PICK YOUR AREA
In 250+ cities and wards across 38 prefectures (Tokyo's 23 wards and Tama, Yokohama, Kawasaki, Saitama, Chiba, Osaka, Kyoto, Kobe, Nagoya, Sapporo, Sendai, Niigata, Hiroshima, Fukuoka, Kumamoto, Kagoshima, Naha and more), choose your area, town and chōme and the days fill in from the municipality's published schedule, holidays and New Year make-up days included. Anywhere else, enter each type in about 30 seconds.

EVERY KIND OF SCHEDULE
Weekly, Nth weekday (incl. last), weekday of week N, every other week / every N weeks, only some months, days of the month, month end, irregular dates.

HOLIDAYS, NEW YEAR AND ONE-OFF CHANGES
National holidays built in; set per type whether holidays are collected, the New Year break, and extra days off or extra collection days.

REMINDERS THAT DON'T STOP
"Done" on the notification or the widget silences the rest of that day. Reminders are rebooked after a restart, a clock change and every time one arrives.

WIDGET, FAMILY SHARING, PAUSE
Home screen widget. Share your schedule with family by link (works with the iPhone app too). Pause while you're away.

DASHITENE PLUS (one-time purchase)
Reminders ring as a full-screen alarm that sounds even in Silent mode, and you can export a year of collection days to your calendar (.ics).

No ads, no subscription, no account. Your schedule and area stay on your phone (only anonymous usage and crash statistics are sent, to fix bugs; you can turn this off in Settings).

What’s new

Setup now asks how to remind you: notification or alarm. Buying Dashitene Plus turns the alarm on for every type.
In English, garbage types and holidays are now in English too.
New areas: Nagaoka, Nagareyama and Niiza.
