2nd STREET (セカンドストリート)

A second-hand chain with 97 stores across Tokyo that buys clothes, household goods, furniture and appliances over the counter, with no booking and from a single item. Home pickup exists but reaches only five of the 23 wards, so for most of Tokyo this is a carry-it-in route. They buy what they can resell and dispose of nothing, so anything broken or refused stays with you.

Right for you if

  • Clothes, household goods and small appliances you can carry in. Furniture and white goods only if you are in one of the five wards the pickup reaches, or can move it yourself.
  • It has to cost nothing.
  • You cannot move it yourself. They come and collect.
  • You can get it there under your own steam.
  • You would rather it was used again than buried.
  • You want to turn up without booking.

Look elsewhere if

  • It is broken, dirty or missing parts.
  • You cannot show proof of address.

Checked against a published source

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 →

Why use it

Stores take walk-ins from one item and pay cash on the spot, and each store page publishes its current waiting time, which almost nothing else in this guide does. If you live in Adachi, Itabashi, Kita, Setagaya or part of Nerima, they will also come to the house for large furniture and appliances, free.

Good for

  • furniture
  • appliances
  • electronics

How it works

How you use it They collect, or you can take it there yourself.
Cost They pay you rather than charge you. Valuation is free and you are paid on the spot. They buy only what they can resell and dispose of nothing, so whatever they turn down stays with you.
Booking Drop-off needs no appointment; collection is booked.
Service area Drop-off: 97 stores across Tokyo/Pickup: Adachi / Itabashi / Kita / Setagaya / part of Nerima only

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.

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.

  • Booking

    Their pages

    Drop-off needs no appointment; collection is booked.

  • Typical wait

    Needs reports

    Not established

    Nobody has told us how long they waited. Two reader reports would settle it.

  • Do they answer

    Needs reports

    Not established

    We read their pages, we did not phone them. One reader who got through would settle it.

  • Restrictions

The Responsible Index, in full

Not a review score. 14 observable signals, each met only where the operator's own pages state it, and each linking to the page it was read from. Blanks are gaps in what they publish, not accusations. How the Index works →

The evidence behind it

14 signals checked against 4 pages on 20 August 2026. The Index measures what an operator publishes about itself. It cannot be bought, verification does not raise it, and it never touches the order Spots are listed in.

What happens to it

  • Put back into use

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.
