Tokushima City provides several options for the collection of unwanted items. Whether it’s bulky items, old electronics, or things you no longer need, there are systems in place to ensure proper disposal.

For standard oversized items, known as “sodai gomi,” the city offers a collection service for unwanted items service by reservation. You must register your pickup in advance. After making a reservation, you will be told the correct pickup date and location. You also need to purchase a special sticker from a local convenience store or supermarket, which must be attached to the item.

Some unwanted goods can’t be picked up this way, especially those categorized under the Home Appliance Recycling Law. These include air conditioners, TVs, washing machines, and refrigerators. For these, you’ll need to use an authorized recycling service. Fees apply, and you may also need to bring a recycling slip to confirm you followed the correct procedure.

For smaller items that still don’t fit in your regular trash bags, there are neighborhood collection points that accept things like small electric goods, tools, or metal objects. These locations usually have guidelines posted indicating what is and isn’t allowed.

Dangerous items and special materials such as batteries, paint, or gas canisters must be handled differently. These require special collection days organized by the city. It’s important not to mix these with regular trash to avoid accidents.

If you’re unable to handle item collection yourself, paid haulers are available. These companies can handle sorting, lifting, and transporting. While this option costs more, it offers convenience, especially during seasonal cleaning or estate clear-outs.

By following Tokushima City’s unwanted item collection rules, you help maintain a healthy and organized environment. Always check with the city for updates and information before disposing of anything.
