Precautions when asking a contractor to sort their belongings or clearing the house

●If you ask a relics dealer to sort or clean up your belongings, you will usually find unnecessary items that need to be disposed of. If you pay for it and dispose of it, be sure to check that the company that arranges the relics has a license for the "general waste collection and transportation business".
●If the relics management company does not have a "general waste collection and transportation business" license, ask the "general waste collection and transportation business licenser" to dispose of the waste.

●It is necessary to make a direct contract between the person who disposes of the waste and the "General Waste Collection and Transportation Business Licensee" must sign a direct contract (it is possible to delegate this contract to a relics disposal company).

●There are also "permitted waste collection and transportation business licensed companies" that perform sorting and cleaning up relics, so you can also request these companies to sort out the relics and dispose of unused items together.

●In addition, permission from a secondhand dealer is required when purchasing household goods. If you have permission, please ask the supplier for permission.

●Disposal of disused goods by an unauthorized company is against the law.
●There have been reports of illegal dumping of unauthorized items collected by such unauthorized companies. In addition, there are cases where harmful substances such as chlorofluorocarbons and lead are released into the environment due to improper disposal, and fires caused by improper storage, which may lead to major problems. Please follow.
