Hanamaru Chiba Strengthens Buyback of Drum-Type Washing Machines with $50,000 Minimum Guarantee

Reuse service 'Hanamaru Chiba' (located at 1F Medias Sugiura, 4-4-24 Minami-Yawata, Ichikawa-shi, Chiba) has launched a campaign to strengthen the purchase of drum-type washing machines as of May 2026.

In recent years, Chiba has seen an increase in inquiries such as 'I cannot move my drum-type washing machine' or 'It was expensive, so I hate to discard it' due to factors like relocations, home changes, appliance upgrades, estate clearouts, and the growth of dual-income households.

In response, the store has reinforced its appraisal and removal systems for large appliances to meet the rising demand for 'drum-type washing machine disposal and sales' in Chiba.

For certain eligible models, a minimum buyback guarantee of 50,000 yen is being implemented (conditions apply).
*This is a minimum guaranteed price. Higher prices may be offered depending on the manufacturer, model year, capacity, and condition.
*Depending on the condition and moving situation, removal costs may exceed the purchase price.

[Background of Demand]
Drum-type washing machines are becoming more widespread due to the need for time-saving appliances and dual-income households. However, their weight of 70kg–90kg makes moving them via stairs or narrow corridors difficult, and disposal fees are often a barrier to selling. We provide specialized buyback services to solve these logistical hurdles.
