How to Start local recyclables collection

Last updated on April 1, 2025.


(1) Decided to implement the local recyclables collection

・The local recyclables collection will be decided at meetings of the Neighborhood Association Neighborhood Associations and others.
・Determination of Representative and Person in charge   ※Registration of the representative is required.
 If there is a person who performs clerical work (accounting, etc.) separately from the representative, you can register as a person in charge separately from the representative.
 (Example: Mr. Neighborhood Association, Mr. Residential Association, Mr. in charge of accounting and environmental affairs)
 All documents related to local recyclables collection will be sent to the person in charge. (If there is no registration of the person in charge, it will be sent to the representative.)

 [Notes]
 ・Let's share roles such as organizing collection points, publicizing and disseminating information to the community, applying for incentives, accounting, etc. so that only some people will bear the burden.
 ・Application for incentives after registration is completed is basically online (PC / smartphone) application.
 ※If the contracted collection company does not support online applications, registered organizations cannot apply online.
 ・Registered organizations can be registered by any organization such as the Neighborhood Association Neighborhood Associations or the XX Resources Association.
 ・Before registration, let's talk about implementation with local residents.
 ・Businesses such as condominium management companies (excluding third-party management methods) and welfare facilities cannot be registered as registered organizations.
 ・If the number of households is small, it may be difficult to implement.
 ・Yokohama City will not collect what was sent out as local recyclables collection.
