Nakano Broadway — the iconic otaku shopping mall — generates an unusual waste stream of collector items and packaging. Nakano Ward works directly with the mall's tenants' association on a separate 'retail cardboard and packaging' collection twice weekly, keeping collector merchandise out of household burnable bins.
