Small rechargeable batteries are batteries used in cordless home appliances and electric bicycles that can be recharged and used repeatedly. It also includes a mobile battery.
Manufacturers and importers are obliged to voluntarily collect and recycle small rechargeable batteries, and cannot be sent to collection sites.

Yellow collection cans are also installed in each ward general government building, collection office, inhabitant of a ward use facility (part), and city hall.
