Jimoty, Inc. (hereinafter "the Company"), which operates the local information site "Jimoty," has concluded an agreement regarding reuse with Oi Town, Kanagawa Prefecture (hereinafter "Oi Town") to implement reuse awareness activities aimed at reducing waste. The Company has currently concluded reuse agreements with 295 local governments nationwide and is working toward the realization of a sustainable society through reuse awareness and waste reduction.
Purpose of the Agreement Oi Town has previously worked to reduce waste through initiatives such as a "Recycle Message Board," but further revitalization of resource circulation remains a challenge. Therefore, the town will partner with "Jimoty," a local information site used by approximately 10 million people monthly, to promote reuse within the local community. By introducing a system that allows for easy transactions via smartphones and other devices, the town aims to curb the disposal of large furniture and other items, thereby reducing environmental impact while simultaneously improving convenience for residents. This led to the conclusion of the agreement with our Company.
Activities (As of April 1, 2026*) We will raise awareness among residents about the option of "giving away instead of throwing away" through the official Oi Town website and public relations publications, thereby suppressing waste generation by improving reuse consciousness.
The Company will continue to strengthen reuse promotion in cooperation with local governments, aiming for the realization of a sustainable society. We welcome inquiries from local governments across the country that are motivated to reduce waste and promote reuse.
*The content of awareness activities is subject to change in the future.
