Wakuya Town has a drop-off point for small home appliances. As of the time this article was written, 1 spot is listed on this site: the small home appliance collection box installed inside the Wakuya Town Hall building.
What items can be collected
Eligible items are small home appliances discarded from households. The opening of the collection box is limited to a size of less than 40 cm in width by less than 20 cm in height. The collection is carried out by the Osaki Regional Wide-Area Administration Association (Osaki Chiiki Koiki Gyosei Jimu Kumiai), which is made up of several municipalities including Osaki City and Wakuya Town. According to the association's guidance, the collection is carried out with the aim of recovering useful metals such as rare metals contained in small home appliances no longer used in the home, and of promoting waste reduction and the 3Rs (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle).
Characteristics and conditions of use
The box is installed inside the Wakuya Town Hall building, and it can be used on weekdays from 8:30 to 17:15 (excluding Saturdays, Sundays, public holidays, and the year-end and New Year period). Before depositing an item, the guidance advises erasing the information on devices that hold personal data, such as mobile phones and smartphones, and removing dry-cell batteries from the device. It also advises depositing small home appliances as they are, without taking them apart.
What to check before you use it
Devices that exceed the size of the opening cannot be deposited, so it is a good idea to check the size in advance. Collection rules differ from municipality to municipality, so please confirm the latest acceptance conditions in the official information published by the Osaki Regional Wide-Area Administration Association or by the Wakuya Town Hall. If you live outside Wakuya Town, please check the guidance issued by your own municipality separately.
When depositing small home appliances with built-in batteries, such as power banks, please take the usual precautions against fire and short-circuit accidents, for example by checking that the item is not damaged, leaking, or swollen.
Note that air conditioners, televisions, refrigerators and freezers, and washing machines and clothes dryers are the four item categories covered by the Home Appliance Recycling Act (家電リサイクル法), so they are not eligible for this collection box. For how to dispose of them, please check the guidance from the store where you bought them or from your municipality.
