How to Dispose of Large-Sized Waste

“Large-sized waste” refers to garbage that measures more than thirty centimeters on any side in height, width or depth—such as futons or furniture—that are no longer needed.

(1) Apply
There are two ways of disposing of large-sized waste: arranging for individual collection on a designated day or bringing your item(s) in on a designated Sunday. Please call to apply after deciding which method you would like to use. The handling fee when bringing your item in on a Sunday is lower than the fee for individual collection.
