Safe Disposal of Dangerous Swollen Batteries in Tokyo's 23 Wards at Affordable Pricing

Comprehensive Collection of Swollen Batteries in Tokyo

As our reliance on electronic devices grows, the risk associated with aging lithium-ion batteries becomes a pressing concern. From smartphones and laptops to e-bikes and drones, these batteries play pivotal roles in our daily lives. However, as they age, they can swell, leak, heat, or even cause fires. In Tokyo's 23 wards, improperly disposing of such batteries can be incredibly challenging, as they fall under the category of "difficult-to-process waste" and cannot simply be thrown away with regular household or bulky waste. To address the growing concerns of residents, the 'Marutto Honpo' has continued its successful campaign for safely collecting swollen and leaking batteries, extending its offerings and availability into November.

Campaign Highlights

The campaign runs from November 1 to November 30, covering all 23 wards of Tokyo, with both pick-up and drop-off options. For residential and commercial clients alike, Marutto Honpo guarantees professional handling of hazardous batteries.

- On-site Pick-Up: The first battery collected costs ¥5,500 (including tax), with additional batteries priced at ¥2,750 each.
- Drop-Off in Akihabara: The first battery costs only ¥3,300, with subsequent ones at the same rate as the pick-up service for added value.

In response to concerns from residents like "My battery is swollen and I’m scared to plug it in" or "I don’t know how to dispose of this safely," Marutto Honpo stands ready with legally compliant and safe handling procedures, providing same-day service. Whether you have a few swollen batteries hanging around your home or a collection as a business owner, we ensure swift and efficient disposal.
