Yeah, but it’s mostly only for electronics or big bulky stuff/furnisher like shelf or cabinet. It’s quite annoying too cause you need to apply with the city administration for trash disposal date for your items.
But like in this chapter, it isn’t that expensive cause Mamoru just need around 1000yen to disposed most of the items shown here. I think small electronics appliances like rice cooker, microwave or air fryer etc. only cost around 200-300yen and things like mattress/futon cost around 500yen each under 10kg. So I think based on my city rate, all this trash could be disposed around 900yen.
Illegal dumping like this happened a lot cause people don’t wanna dealt with the mundane stuff like I said applying with the city or calculating the accurate size/weight of your item that you wanna disposed. But on the plus side, second hand item businesses in Japan are booming making furnishing house become a pretty low cost effort.
Me personally, I just hand out my unwanted stuff to an acquaintances or sell em online, usually throwing them out as a last resort.
