* Special items that are difficult to process properly

Examples of such special items:
*   Mattresses with springs
*   Sofas with springs
*   Tires
*   Batteries
*   Laundry drying stands

To throw away these items, please use one of the two methods below:
1. Call and request a pickup service
2. Take the item to the disposal center yourself

Cost to Dispose of Garbage

For large-sized waste and special items difficult to process, there is a fee to throw them away.
If you bring the garbage yourself to the disposal center, the cost is cheaper than having it collected by phone reservation.

They are not classified as bulky waste, so you also cannot bring them to the garbage centers.

These items must be recycled by law in Japan.
You must ask the store where you bought the item to take it back,or ask the store where you are buying a new one to take the old one.
※A fee is required for collection and recycling.

If you don’t know which store you bought it from,you can either send it to a location specified by the manufacturer,or ask a company designated by Saitama City to handle it.
