- Worth noticing
- Its directory lists 143 municipalities and distinguishes municipal general-waste permits from industrial-waste or secondhand-dealer credentials.
Field notes
The guide organizes local rules by prefecture and city, and points readers toward municipal permit lists or the city waste office when a list is missing or a contractor’s status is unclear. Its advice distinguishes household general waste from industrial waste and secondhand goods, then carries the same practical caution into estimates: compare providers, get work and costs in writing, and agree what stays. The page cites national sources and asks readers to verify current procedures with their city.
