Kyoto City licensed household-waste haulers

Kyoto publishes a list of the companies licensed to collect household waste, and a warning about the ones that are not. Hauling household waste requires a 一般廃棄物収集運搬業 licence from this city, a second-hand dealer's 古物商 licence does not count, and neither does a licence from another municipality.

Right for you if

  • Clear-outs, upper floors with no lift, and anything the 大型ごみ service refuses.
  • You cannot move it yourself. They come and collect.

Look elsewhere if

  • You need it free.
  • You want a fixed price before you commit.
  • It is one small thing you could drop off yourself.
  • You need it gone today.

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 →

Something wrong here?

Why use it

This is the route when you cannot carry it, the city will not take it, and you need it gone on a schedule. Many of these operators also do estate clear-outs and will carry things out of the room, which the municipal collection will not.

Good for

  • furniture
  • mattresses
  • appliances
  • electronics
  • other items

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

  • Removed by a company and sorted
  • Disposed of

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.
