Special Campaign for Unused Children’s Hobby Goods in Nerima City
From May 1 to May 31, 2026, Nerima City will host a limited-time campaign aimed at collecting children’s hobby items that have been abandoned mid-way due to a lack of interest. Located in the heart of Tokyo, this area is well-known for its family-friendly environment, making it a hub for households with young children. However, many families find themselves stuck with hobby items their kids no longer use, cluttering their homes.
Some examples include:
- - A keyboard that was only used for six months
- - Dance costumes and shoes from a ballet class that was never finished
- - English learning materials including DVDs that remain unused
These hobby items, while still valuable, often end up lying around without a chance of being used again. To address this persistent issue, the company Marutto Honpo, operated by SYSTR Co., based in Chiyoda, Tokyo, has launched this campaign specifically for Nerima residents.
Background and Purpose
Nerima City’s community is home to many families with children involved in various activities. Consequently, it’s common to accumulate a pile of unused hobby goods, which can be difficult to dispose of for several reasons:
- - People often hesitate to throw away expensive instruments or equipment.
- - Some items were purchased with the intent of reselling them online, only to be forgotten later.
- - Many residents feel overwhelmed and uncertain about what to do with these leftover items.
To tackle these challenges, Marutto Honpo’s campaign is designed to help families declutter during the spring cleaning period, particularly just after Golden Week.
