Special Lithium-Ion Battery Collection Campaign
In an effort to tackle the rising concern regarding the proper disposal of lithium-ion batteries, a special campaign is set to run in Tokyo from
August 1 to 31, 2025. Residents of the 23 wards can benefit from a collection service, priced at just
3,300 yen including tax per battery. This initiative aims to safely remove batteries, including those in expanded forms or with exposed terminals, ensuring hazardous materials are dealt with correctly.
Background and Purpose
Lithium-ion batteries pose significant risks if not disposed of properly, sometimes resulting in fire hazards. Many households in urban environments, particularly in Tokyo, find themselves unsure of how to dispose of these batteries, leading to increased accumulation over the years.
As the number of devices such as smartphones, tablets, mobile batteries, and electric bicycles grows, so does the necessity for a reliable recycling solution. Many batteries remain und disposed due to concerns about their condition—specifically those that are swollen or non-functional. This campaign seeks to offer a simple, safe, and fair-price collection service to ease the burden on residents.
