Facing disposal costs of 130 yen per 10kg in Himeji City, Eco-Ring seeks to find value before disposal.
Overview
Eco-Ring Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Himeji City, Hyogo Prefecture), which operates a reuse business, will hold a special event called "Ultimate Anything Purchase Event" for three days from Friday, April 17th to Sunday, April 19th, 2026, in front of its Eco-Ring Himeji Shikama store, targeting items that are usually difficult to handle. This event aims to find new possibilities in items that were previously considered to have no value, with the goal of reducing waste and promoting reuse.
Background
In recent years, many unwanted items in households are judged to have "no value" and are discarded as they are. At the Himeji City recycling center, a processing fee of 130 yen per 10kg is incurred for bringing in items for disposal, making it common for "disposal to cost money." In response to this situation, Eco-Ring planned this event from the perspective of "finding value before disposal."
Event Features
① Challenging the norm of "cannot be purchased"
We will challenge to assess and purchase items that are usually difficult to handle in regular stores, for a limited time.
② From disposal cost to value creation
Items that would normally incur disposal fees may become eligible for purchase.
③ Large quantities and large items are welcome
Unwanted items that are difficult to bring in due to quantity or size are also eligible. Collective bringing in is possible.
Target Items (Examples)
・Old daily necessities
・Broken items
・Unwanted items planned for collective disposal
We welcome items that you might think, "This is impossible..."
*Some items cannot be purchased due to legal regulations or safety reasons.
Message to Visitors
"I can't use it anymore."
"It won't sell anyway."
Before you dispose of it thinking that,
why not check if it has "value"?
Your "things you thought were trash"
may have unexpected value.
