Innovative Lithium-Ion Battery Collection Service Launched in Tama Region

In a groundbreaking initiative targeted at resolving community waste disposal issues, SYSTR Corporation has announced a limited-time promotion for the collection of lithium-ion batteries in the Tama region of Tokyo. Running from September 1 to September 30, 2025, this special plan offers a streamlined solution at a fixed cost of 5,500 yen (tax included) per battery, making it easier for residents to dispose of these potentially hazardous items safely.

Background and Purpose

Lithium-ion batteries are prevalent in various devices, including household electronics, computers, mobile phones, and power tools. However, many residents in the Tama area have faced challenges due to local waste management regulations, which often exclude these batteries from customary disposal channels. Consequently, many batteries remain abandoned in households, elevating the risk of accidents, particularly in the case of swollen or damaged batteries.

Voices of concern have echoed throughout the community: "I've been refused collection services," or "I have batteries piled up in my storage. What can I do?" This promotional campaign is designed to directly address these urgent issues, providing a safe and fixed-cost option for disposing of dangerous waste in suburban areas.
