Quick answers before you download anything
What is the official garbage app for Kyoto City?
Kyoto City currently points users to San-Aru or closely related official garbage lookup tools. This page explains the role of that official option and how GomiSense is positioned as a separate tool.
Should I use San-Aru or GomiSense?
Use the official tool when you only need city-issued schedule information. Consider GomiSense if you want multilingual item identification and guidance that may still be useful if you move or travel in Japan.
Does GomiSense replace official municipal garbage information?
No. GomiSense is a practical layer on top of official rules. It helps users understand disposal instructions faster, but official municipal guidance remains the final authority.
Important note
GomiSense is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or approved by Kyoto City. Official municipal websites and apps remain the final authority for local waste rules, schedules, and disposal instructions.
