Excuse me, I'm not familiar with the trash disposal rules in this area. For burnable trash, what day and where should I put it out?

燃えるゴミは毎週火曜日と金曜日の朝8時までに、建物の裏側にある集積所にお出しください。
もえるごみはまいしゅうかようびときんようびのあさはちじまでに、たてもののうらがわにあるしゅうせきじょにおだしください。
Please put out burnable trash by 8 AM on Tuesdays and Fridays at the collection point behind the building.
Gesture & etiquette
Hold up a trash bag (if applicable) and make a questioning gesture, or point to the ground with a confused expression.
Always follow local trash sorting rules, as they vary greatly by municipality. Putting out trash incorrectly can lead to fines or inconvenience for locals. Don't simply discard trash in public bins that are not designated for household waste.
