Interesting Fact

Japan has strict garbage sorting rules. Residents must separate recyclables, burnable trash, and non-burnable trash before 捨てる (suteru), or throwing them away.

Memory Trick

Imagine dropping an old newspaper into a recycling bin. Throwing something away helps you remember 捨 means 'to discard.'
