Jimoty x Sakai Moving Service: Public-Private Collaborative Reuse Hub "Jimoty Spot Kashiwa Toyoshiki Store" Opens May 29

Sakai Moving Service Co., Ltd. (Sakai City, Osaka: President Tetsuyasu Tajima) will open a public-private collaborative reuse hub, "Jimoty Spot Kashiwa Toyoshiki Store," on Friday, May 29, 2026, in collaboration with Jimoty Co., Ltd. This facility is part of an initiative based on a reuse agreement signed between Jimoty Co., Ltd. and Kashiwa City in February 2024. Our company will be responsible for its operation, establishing it alongside "Reuse no Sakai Kashiwa Store." Furthermore, by leveraging our assets in moving, purchasing unwanted items, and logistics, we will also focus on developing a new operational scheme different from conventional Jimoty Spots, aiming to create synergies that maximize the amount of reuse per store. ■ "Jimoty Spot Kashiwa Toyoshiki Store" Operated by Sakai Moving Service This store is a public-private collaborative reuse hub operated by Sakai Moving Service, co-located with "Reuse no Sakai Kashiwa Store." [Benefits for users by co-locating] ① Expanded range of reused products By co-locating "Jimoty Spot" and "Reuse no Sakai," the variety of products handled will greatly expand. Customers will now be able to purchase large furniture (e.g., sideboards, chests of drawers), recycled home appliances (e.g., washing machines, TVs), and items with high resale value, which were previously less available at Jimoty Spot. ② Online product search available Products sold at both stores can be searched and viewed on the regional information site "Jimoty," allowing customers to check product information before visiting (excluding some items). Moving forward, our company, through these initiatives, aims to build a true circular system that goes beyond the framework of conventional Jimoty Spots, in collaboration with Jimoty Co., Ltd. ■ About Jimoty Spot (Reference) Jimoty Spot is a service that allows people to exchange items within their community that are "still usable but no longer needed." Those who wish to donate unwanted items can simply bring them in without a reservation, connecting them to the next person who needs them. Those who wish to receive items can check product information on the regional information site "Jimoty" and purchase or pick them up after seeing the actual item at the store. It broadly reuses "still usable items" that are often discarded due to low resale value, including items not bought by recycle shops and furniture with high delivery costs. [Three benefits for citizens and local governments] ・No reservation required, zero fees, reducing the hassle and cost of disposing of large bulky waste. ・You can obtain reused items at an affordable price, or even "for free." (e.g., a rice cooker for 300 yen, a chair for 0 yen) ・It suppresses waste generation and effectively promotes waste reduction and resource circulation within the community. ■ "Jimoty Spot Kashiwa Toyoshiki Store" Address: 816-13 Toyoshiki, Kashiwa City, Chiba Prefecture Opening Date: Friday, May 29, 2026 Business Hours: Weekdays 11:00-20:00 / Weekends and Holidays 10:00-20:00 Closed: 3rd Wednesday of each month, December 30 - January 3 ・Items accepted for donation: 　　・Furniture, home appliances, children's goods, sports/leisure items, musical instruments 　　・Tableware, books/CDs, clothing, pet supplies, etc. ※Only Kashiwa citizens can bring items (ID required). ・Store HP: https://jmty.jp/about/jmtyspot_kashiwa 　※Service content is subject to change without notice. ■ Greetings on the occasion of the store opening [Jimoty Co., Ltd.] Director, Jimosupo Business Department, Mr. Sho Katayama While the reuse market has expanded, in the context of "moving" where a large amount of unwanted items are generated, many still usable items have been discarded due to the barriers of hassle and cost. By integrating Sakai Moving Service's network and Jimoty's platform, these barriers can be removed, seamlessly connecting more unwanted items. We will accelerate the development of cross-industry joint ventures to build a social infrastructure where "donating" becomes more common than "discarding." [Sakai Moving Service Co., Ltd.] Executive Officer, Group Promotion Office, Mr. Satoru Chikujo Sakai Moving Service is very pleased to establish "Jimoty Spot Kashiwa Toyoshiki Store" through this collaboration with Jimoty and Kashiwa City. We believe this initiative, which circulates "still usable unwanted items" we've encountered through moving within the community, will lead to the creation of new value. Moving forward, we will leverage our logistics and unwanted item purchasing expertise to contribute to the further expansion and improved convenience of reuse. ■ National waste reduction achievements and future outlook (Reference) Company
