Detailed Guide

Steps

  1. Check your municipality’s oversized-garbage length threshold (commonly 30 or 50 cm)
  2. Over the limit → book oversized collection and pay the fee (varies by municipality)
  3. Under the limit, or where long items are accepted → non-burnable garbage
  4. Strings and grip tape → burnable garbage if separated

If the racket is broken, wrap the sharp ends in newspaper and label the bag “キケン” (danger) to protect collection workers.

Alternatives to throwing away

  • Resale: brand-name carbon rackets sell well on flea-market apps and at sports resale shops
  • Donation: school clubs and local junior teams often accept used rackets
  • Trade-in: some sports shops run trade-in campaigns when you buy a new one
