There's no bins on the street because Japanese people rarely eat, drink, smoke, etc while moving, though Starbucks/etc has changed that a little bit, but I rarely see those discarded.

You just don't have any trash to drop, you'd keep it in your bag if you did, and there's bins at konbini or vending machines everywhere.

Today, like most days, on the news they had more videos of Rugby tourists passed out on the street, replaying the subway video, etc. This time they had a segment about gaijin putting out cigarette butts with their shoes and walking off for like 5 minutes.

Haven't seen it any worse than the Rugby World Cup.. I don't want to be around for the Olympics.

Many were removed as a security measure after the 1995 sarin gas attack on the Tokyo subway.

I was about to say "Well if you enter the subway system with trash you could be with it a while". Perhaps this explains that.

And most Conbinis have trashbins outside
