Tohokubu Clean Centre (東北部クリーンセンター)
Take it yourself, by car, having booked by the day before. Priced by weight rather than by item, which makes it cheaper than kerbside collection once you have several things to shift.
Right for you if
- Clearing several large items at once, if you have a car and can book a day ahead.
- You can get it there under your own steam.
Look elsewhere if
- You need it free.
- You have no way of getting it there.
- You need it gone today.
- It is business waste.
- You live outside the area it serves.
- You cannot show proof of address.

That means we read a published source and it said this. It does not mean we watched them do it, or followed the material afterwards, that is a separate, deeper check this has not been through. How we check →

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.
