used cloth Emissions
Last update date February 18, 2021
Requests for used cloth Emissions
In used cloth, exports and production of overseas plants were suspended due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.
We asked for your cooperation in home storage, but since the stagnation of the recycling route has been eliminated to a certain extent.
Please serve as usual in local recyclables collection.
However, if the items that have been stored so far are discharged at once, collection and recycling will be hindered.
Please cooperate so that you can take it out little by little (about 1 or 2 bags for each household).
Thank you very much for your cooperation in storing each home.
