Small household appliances such as mobile phones can be discharged as burnable garbage without sorting when they are no longer needed at home, while rare metals that make up products can be recycled.
This time, in cooperation with a sports team based in Yokohama City and Lynette Japan Recycling Co., Ltd., used mobile phones are collected and recycled at the game venue, "Yokohama City Mobile Phone Recycling!" The business will begin on May 29, 2021.
The collected mobile phones will be disassembled at working facilities for persons with disabilities in the city. This also leads to employment support for people with disabilities.
