Kaikuru Kakogawa Store Unveils Air Conditioner Buyback Campaign
From June 17, 2026, the Kaikuru Kakogawa Store is pleased to announce the start of its Air Conditioner Buyback Campaign. As the summer approaches, many households often consider upgrading their air conditioning systems or reviewing their home appliances. However, concerns surrounding the disposal of functioning units, such as associated costs and doubts about whether they can still be useful, often arise.
This campaign seeks to address these concerns by providing an opportunity for customers to part with their unused air conditioners through a reuse program, reducing waste and promoting sustainability in the process.
Addressing Common Summer Air Conditioner Issues
As families prepare for the summer heat, it’s common to see a rise in air conditioning unit checks and replacements. However, many individuals face challenges related to the disposal of old units. Some common issues include uncertainty about removal processes, costs of disposal, and the thought of throwing away something that still works.
Air conditioners are also classified as recyclable under Japan’s Recycle Law, which means there can be fees associated with their removal and transport. Understanding these challenges, Kaikuru Kakogawa has initiated this campaign to help customers manage the disposal and recycling of their old appliances. The collected units will undergo assessments to determine if they can be reused or if parts can be salvaged for future needs.
Details of the Air Conditioner Buyback Campaign
The campaign runs from June 17, 2026, and is available in the Hyogo Prefecture cities of Kakogawa, Miki, and Takasago. Air conditioners that show no significant external damage and are deemed reusable will be eligible for assessment and buyback. If customers are unsure whether their older models can be evaluated or are storing removed units, they are encouraged to reach out for guidance.
Note: Depending on the condition of the item and the installation environment, some units may not be eligible for buyback. Additionally, special circumstances requiring high-altitude work may incur extra fees, and further details can be obtained via phone or LINE during the preliminary consultation.
Extra Service: The 1,000 Yen Box
Customers requesting an on-site assessment can also take advantage of an additional service known as the 1,000 Yen Box. This option allows individuals to consolidate smaller items, such as clothing, dishes, or miscellaneous goods, into a designated box brought by the assessor at a flat rate of 1,000 yen per box. This service is ideal for those who wish to declutter small items alongside their main assessment.
Note: Not all items are eligible for this service. Customers should confirm specific exclusions with the assessor.
Kaikuru Kakogawa's Commitment to the Community
Kaikuru Kakogawa Store strives to be a supportive resource as residents navigate the challenges of appliance upgrades and home decluttering. The store aims to provide practical and accessible on-site assessment services, helping customers explore the option, "Let’s check before throwing it away."
