お部屋のゴミ箱で結構ですよ。
おへやのごみばこでけっこうですよ。
The trash can in your room is fine.
Gesture & etiquette
Point to a plastic bottle or can, or make a 'throwing away' gesture.
Japanese recycling rules vary by municipality. When in doubt, ask hotel staff. Sometimes, all room trash goes into one bin for staff to sort.
