Before Pickup Morning in Itabashi Ward

Use this checklist before leaving garbage at a Itabashi Ward collection station. It combines the ward's official schedule fields with the resident caveats that cause most rejected bags.

  • Confirm the chome or apartment collection board because Itabashi Ward schedules may change by block.
  • Match the Japanese category label: burnable, non-burnable, recyclable, bulky, or hazardous.
  • Put bags out only in the morning pickup window unless your building has a managed storage room.
  • For bulky waste, reserve first and attach the correct paid sticker before collection day.

What Makes Itabashi Ward Unique

Itabashi has operated Tokyo's only dedicated 'Eco Plaza' — a free, drop-in reuse and repair centre — since 1997. Residents donate unwanted but functional items (furniture, appliances, toys), which are assessed, repaired if needed, and sold at cost price. In 2023, the Eco Plaza diverted 2,100 items from landfill, with furniture making up 38%.

Known for

Tokiwadai (pleasant residential), Narimasu, optical/precision industry heritage

Note for residents

Before booking bulky waste collection, check whether your item qualifies for the Eco Plaza's reuse programme — a functioning sofa or washing machine can be donated instead of discarded, saving the collection fee.
