Basics

Before you pick a city

Three nationwide basics to know before checking city-specific rules.

Home Appliance Recycling Act

TVs, fridges, washers, ACs aren't bulky waste

Four home appliances (TV, fridge, washer, AC) require a recycling ticket and must be taken to a retailer or designated site — not bulky garbage.

Bulky waste

Most cities require pre-booking and fees

Items over ~30cm usually require booking and a paid ticket. Slots fill up fast in moving season (Mar–Apr, Dec).

Designated bags

Bag rules vary by city

Three patterns: paid designated bags, clear bags, or any bag. Always check your new city's rules right after moving.

Search without picking a city

Even without a city, you can look up rules by item or scenario.

By item

PET bottles, batteries, mattresses, sofas, appliances, and more.

By scenario

Moving, estate cleanup, deep cleaning, appliance upgrades.
