Home Appliance Recycling take-back sites (指定引取場所)

The route for the four appliance categories the city refuses by law: televisions, air conditioners, fridges and freezers, washing machines and clothes dryers. Three sites, all in Fushimi or Minami ward.

Right for you if

  • Getting rid of a regulated appliance when no retailer is collecting it.
  • You can get it there under your own steam.
  • You want to turn up without booking.

Look elsewhere if

  • You need it free.
  • You want a fixed price before you commit.
  • You have no way of getting it there.
  • It is paint, solvent, gas bottles or anything else hazardous.

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

If you are not buying a replacement, the shop that would normally take the old one away has no obligation to, and this is the alternative. Kyoto publishes the three addresses itself.

Good for

  • appliances
  • electronics

How it works

How you use it You take it there.
Cost A recycling fee set by the manufacturer for each item, plus a post-office transfer charge. Buy the 家電リサイクル券 at a post office before you go.
Booking No appointment needed.
Service area Kyoto City
Run by Designated contractors under the 家電リサイクル法

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.
