Important Notes

Collection schedules and sorting rules may change. Please check the official website for the latest information.

  • Unlike single-use dry-cell batteries, they cannot be put out on the Difficult-to-Process Items collection day
  • Mixing them into 'Other Plastics' or 'Non-burnable Garbage' can cause fires in collection trucks and processing facilities
  • Devices with built-in rechargeable batteries (e-cigarettes, smartphones, etc.): if not swollen, put them in a small-appliance collection box (City Hall main building 1F, each General Branch Office, Kankyokan); if swollen, bring them to a city counter (4 locations)
