Uridoki Collaborates with Oyama City

On September 7, 2026, Uridoki Inc., a leading C2B buyback platform based in Shinjuku, Tokyo, signed an agreement with Oyama City, Tochigi Prefecture, to promote the reuse of goods in order to foster a sustainable circular economy and improve community living standards. This initiative showcases the commitment of Uridoki and local authorities to work together towards a society that emphasizes resource conservation and waste reduction.

Collaborative Background and Purpose

Oyama City is actively working on reducing waste and effectively utilizing resources through its commitment to the three principles of Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle (the 3Rs). The city aims to instill a culture where residents are mindful of the 3Rs in their daily lives, encouraging them to reuse items and connect with others who might need these items instead of discarding them.

Uridoki has been contributing to the establishment of a circular economy by making the value of unused items visible and linking these goods to those in need through its C2B buyback platform. The recent agreement with Oyama City is a significant step towards increasing awareness about reuse among the local community, showing that considering reuse is vital before disposing of unwanted items.

Through collaboration with the city, Uridoki aims to provide more opportunities for residents to comprehend the value of their unused possessions, ultimately helping them make informed choices about reuse instead of disposal.

Utilization of Uridoki via Oyama City’s Website

With the newly formed partnership, residents of Oyama City can now access Uridoki's services directly through the city's official website. They can apply for evaluations of unwanted items via Uridoki’s C2B platform. By entering information about the items they wish to sell, residents will receive valuations from multiple collaborating appraisers and can select their preferred appraiser for the buying process.

Steps to Use the Service:

1. Request Evaluation: Input details and submit a request for evaluation for the items you want to sell.
2. Review Preliminary Valuations: Receive preliminary evaluations from several appraisers.
3. Select Appraiser: Compare offered valuations and select an appraiser to proceed with the selling process.

This initiative expects residents to consider the option of reuse before disposing of their belongings, aligning with Oyama City's ongoing efforts toward waste reduction and effective resource utilization.

Expanding Municipal Partnerships

Uridoki is committed to providing opportunities for those who have had limited access to reuse services. By informing them of their items’ potential value before disposal, Uridoki aims to make reuse a more readily available option. The company plans to continue expanding partnerships with municipalities to create environments where residents can easily adopt reuse practices in their communities.

Moreover, by increasing the availability of Uridoki's services, the aim is to enhance waste reduction and promote the effective use of resources, contributing to the establishment of a sustainable circular society.
