Kyoto City Oversized Waste Collection (大型ごみ)

Kyoto's kerbside collection for anything too big for a normal bag. Book it by phone or online, buy the right number of 400-yen stickers, write the date and your name on them, and put the item out on the morning of collection day, at the roadside point they designate, not on your own land.

Right for you if

  • Furniture, bedding, bicycles and anything over 30 × 40 × 40 cm that is not one of the four regulated appliances.
  • You cannot move it yourself. They come and collect.

Look elsewhere if

  • You need it free.
  • It is one small thing you could drop off yourself.
  • You need it gone today.
  • It is business waste.

Something wrong here?

Why use it

It is the cheapest way to get rid of something large that still has to leave the house, and the fee is fixed and quoted up front rather than estimated. Collection is about a week from booking.

Good for

  • furniture
  • mattresses
  • appliances
  • bicycles
  • toys
  • textiles
  • other items

How it works

How you use it They come and collect it.
Cost 400 to 2,400 yen per item, paid with 400-yen 粗大ごみ処理手数料券 stickers bought at a convenience store or ward office. The sticker has only one denomination, so a 2,400-yen item needs six. The exact fee is quoted when you book.
Booking Book in advance.

Where your things go

A named destination is worth more than a stated intention, and both are worth more than silence. This is the row to read before you book: if your item's row is empty, ask them on the phone and tell us what they say.

Not documented yet. This operator has not published what happens to each kind of item, and we have not been able to establish it from anywhere else. That is the gap, stated rather than hidden. If you ask them, tell us what they say.

Does it actually work

The part no company website tells you. Some of this comes from our checks, some from readers who used the service, and where nobody has told us yet, it says so.

This describes the route the item takes, as the operator states it. We do not claim a recovery rate we have not seen evidence for.

What readers told us

Used them recently?

How long you waited, what they refused, whether anyone picked up the phone. Those are the three facts no website publishes and the ones the next reader needs.
