Beware of illegal waste collectors!

Recently, leaflets stating that "Discarded items will be collected free of charge" and "Notice of free collection of electrical appliances, metals and industrial products" have been circulating in the city.
When I asked such a waste collection company to dispose of it, I was told, "I thought it was free, but I was charged a high price after loading it in the car." The National Consumer Affairs Center of Japan has been receiving consultations such as "I was billed for this."
Also, if you give it to such a waste collection company, it will not be recycled properly, and it may lead to environmental pollution and illegal dumping both in Japan and overseas.
Please dispose of disused items from your home properly according to the city's household waste disposal rules.

Manufacturers are obliged to recycle air conditioners, televisions, refrigerators (freezers), washing machines, and clothes dryers.
For details, please check the page on how to dispose of home appliances subject to the Home Appliance Recycling Law [air conditioners, TVs, refrigerators (freezers), washing machines, clothes dryers] .

PCs and PC displays are collected by manufacturers based on the Law for the Promotion of Effective Utilization of Resources.
