By far not every vending machine has it and even if it does - it's for cans/bottles only.

Konbini are nowhere close to EVERYWHERE. Just because you went to Tokyo city centre doesn't mean japan is same everywhere

I lived all over Kyushu, in Tokyo, in Nagoya, and in Hiroshima. I lived there off and on between 2005 and 2020.

Most of the vending machines I saw had both types next to them, and I never had an issue with accessing a trash can in a konbini.

I suppose we just had very different experiences.
