About waste exchange system

Some of the waste generated from business sites can be effectively reused as resources at other sites. The purpose of this project is to collect information on these wastes and provide it widely to business sites, and to promote the reuse of waste by turning the waste they want.

Establishments in Yokohama City that wish to use the system should submit a "Waste Exchange System Registration Application" to the Yokohama Chamber of Commerce.
In addition, based on submitted application, Yokohama-shi confirms target waste and informs registration application establishment by telephone etc. about the possibility of registration.

If there is any information you want to exchange in the registered exchange information, please apply for the registered office to the Yokohama Chamber of Commerce by telephone or other means. I'll introduce you to the other party.

Registered establishments that have received a turn should discuss the exchange conditions directly between the establishments.
