I was tired of getting my trash rejected in Japan so I built an app for it

Hi, visited Japan last year and the garbage system broke me. Every ward has different rules, different days, different bag colors — and zero tolerance if you get it wrong. I came back one morning to find my trash sitting there untouched 😅

So I built GomiSense (free to try):

  • Point your camera at anything, AI tells you which bin it goes in — not just the category, but the actual rules for your specific ward
  • Pulls your ward's real collection schedule and builds a personal calendar
  • Morning notification before pickup so you don't miss the window
  • 300+ recycling drop-off spots across Japan with directions
  • Works in English, Turkish, Korean, Japanese, and Chinese

No Japanese required, no cross-referencing three different ward websites.

Happy to add features if anything's missing — and feedback is genuinely appreciated 🙏
