家電リサイクル受付センター (the four appliance categories)
The route for the six objects no ward will collect: air conditioners, televisions, fridges and freezers, washing machines and clothes dryers. One number covers all 23 wards.
Right for you if
- Any of those six, whether or not you are buying a replacement.
- You cannot move it yourself. They come and collect.
- You can get it there under your own steam.
Look elsewhere if
- You need it free.
- You want a fixed price before you commit.
- You need it gone today.
- It is business waste.

Verification

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 →

Part of How to get rid of stuff in Tokyo.
Why use it
This is national law rather than ward policy, so it is the one part of Tokyo that does not change at a boundary. Carrying an appliance to a 指定引取場所 yourself costs only the recycling fee with no transport charge.

How it works
| How you use it | They collect, or you can take it there yourself. |

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.

What happens to it
- Recycled
- Broken down for materials
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.
