Game Console ／ Sakata City

Game Console is classified as Burnable Garbage / Oversized Items.

Disposal Steps

1. Put household game console bodies (those without a built-in rechargeable battery, or with the rechargeable battery removed) in the designated garbage bag (black lettering) as Burnable Garbage ("moyasu gomi") and take them to the garbage station by 8 a.m. on the collection day.
2. Large ones (a side longer than 20 cm) are Oversized Items: book a collection by phone through the dedicated oversized-garbage reception line, or bring them directly to the waste treatment facility (Sakata District Wide-Area Administrative Association, Koeicho); no reservation is needed to bring them in.
3. If the rechargeable battery can be removed, take the battery to a rechargeable-battery collection cooperating store and dispose of the body according to the sorting rules.
4. For portable game consoles and similar devices whose rechargeable battery cannot be removed, consult the store of purchase or the manufacturer; if they refuse it, bring it directly to the Recycle Center (Kitazawa) (180 yen per 10 kg).
5. Stationary and portable game consoles can also be handed in, with batteries removed, at the city's free used small-appliance collection held four times a year (household items only; check the dates in the Sakata garbage rule calendar or the city newsletter).
