PS: The reason why I need to know if you can burn vitamins is that in Japan they separate their trash into burnable and non-burnable and I'm wondering which one vitamins should go in. Aw, fuck it. Burnable it is.

Does anyone know if vitamins are burnable? I only have 7 days left here. That means I only have 6 days until the delivery people come to take my bags to the airport.
