by cell phone or smart phone. Application via QR code is also available.
●Disassembled items such as steel shelves and beds are also considered large-sized waste. The handling fee is the same.
●To avoid problems involving “free garbage collection trucks” that make the rounds of neighborhoods while playing an announcement over a loudspeaker, please apply at the Setagaya Large-sized Garbage Receiving Center for collection of large-sized waste.
You can bring items directly to the center on Saturdays and Sundays. Please arrange this in advance with the Setagaya Largesized Garbage Receiving Center. Note: Applications are also accepted via the Internet.
No. of items: Up to 10 items each time
Handling fee: About half the price charged for collection by truck (minimum ¥200).
The collection site for items brought in directly is the Funabashi Large-sized Waste Station (7-21-4 Funabashi). Note: You will
be informed of details, such as the location of the waste station, when you apply.
