Food waste was the one that kept getting me because every district and building seems to add its own little twist to the “same” system. The broad rule is easy, but then you find out your place wants the dedicated bag, a machine card, or a specific bin schedule that nobody explained clearly. In Korea I started assuming the official district guide was only step one, and the real answer was whatever the building manager or ajumma next door said people actually do there.
