Jimoty, Inc. (hereinafter "the Company"), which operates the local information site "Jimoty," has concluded an agreement regarding reuse with Tomakomai City, Hokkaido (hereinafter "Tomakomai City") to implement reuse awareness activities aimed at reducing waste. The Company has currently signed reuse agreements with 295 local governments across Japan and is working toward the realization of a sustainable society through reuse awareness and waste reduction.
Purpose of the Agreement In its Basic Plan for General Waste Management, Tomakomai City has set forth the "promotion of household waste reduction," positioning the "promotion of reuse" as a key initiative. While the city has previously promoted the reuse of bulky waste through exhibitions and sales at the JFE Recycle Plaza Tomakomai, it has faced challenges regarding limited exhibition space and the requirement for residents to visit the facility in person. To further promote reuse, the city has decided to enter into this agreement with our company.
Activity Details (As of April 1, 2026*) We will raise awareness among residents about the option of "giving away instead of throwing away" through the Tomakomai City official website, the "Koho Tomakomai" public relations magazine, and other channels, thereby suppressing waste generation by improving reuse consciousness.
Furthermore, we will create an official Tomakomai City account within Jimoty to disseminate information about the city, including reuse initiatives, to a larger number of citizens.
Our company will continue to strengthen reuse promotion in collaboration 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.
