As of the time this article was written, 3 spots are listed on this site.

Eco Stations run by welfare facilities and NPOs

Of the Eco Stations listed by Yokkaichi City, this site introduces 3 locations: "Fair Works Shimono" (run by the social welfare corporation 鐘和), "Wakatake Hagi no Sato" (run by the Wakatake daily life care service office, a social welfare corporation), and "Hinaga Kayo" (run by the NPO corporation Midori no Ie). All of them accept paper as well as cloth and clothing, and Hinaga Kayo additionally collects used cooking oil such as tempura oil.

The days and hours of operation differ by location: Fair Works Shimono is open on the second and fourth Thursday of each month, Wakatake Hagi no Sato from Monday to Friday, and Hinaga Kayo on Wednesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays — each with its own schedule. Common points of guidance include emptying containers and rinsing them lightly with water, and washing cloth items in advance; at Hinaga Kayo it is also stated that you may be asked to take items back if they are not sorted properly.

What to check before you put items out

As you can see, Yokkaichi City's Eco Stations differ by location in who operates them and in their opening days and hours. Before bringing anything in, use the list below to check each location's address, opening hours, and information source, and confirm the latest acceptance status on the Yokkaichi City official page. Products with built-in batteries, such as power banks, can lead to fires during collection and processing, so check in advance — including whether they are eligible for collection at an Eco Station at all — before putting them out. The four item categories covered by the Home Appliance Recycling Act (家電リサイクル法) — air conditioners, televisions, refrigerators and freezers, and washing machines and clothes dryers — cannot be handled at the Eco Stations introduced here.
