Oversized Garbage Pickup Coordination in Japan

In Japan, disposing of oversized garbage —known as sodai gomi—can be a complex and unfamiliar process for expats. Each municipality has its own regulations, reservation systems, and specific garbage categories. Instructions are often provided only in Japanese, and mistakes in scheduling or item classification can result in fines or missed collections. Without local language skills or knowledge of the process, even getting rid of a single unwanted item can become a frustrating ordeal.

We handle the entire process, from identifying the correct disposal category to purchasing the appropriate garbage disposal stickers (shori-ken), scheduling the pickup, and ensuring you're fully prepared. Whether you're moving, decluttering, or replacing old furniture or appliances, we make sure your items are collected on time, in full compliance with local regulations.
