[Taito Ward Exclusive] Collect Unused Tools and Materials – May Limited Campaign Starts | Leather, Wood, Handicraft Supplies Also Eligible [1,000 Yen Discount] | Marutto Honpo Waste Collection Service

Taito Ward, encompassing areas like Asakusa, Ueno, Kuramae, Asakusabashi, and Yanaka, is a manufacturing hub in Tokyo's downtown, where leather craftsmen, handicraft wholesalers, and small factories gather. In areas like Kuramae, known as a sacred place for leather products, Asakusabashi with its rows of doll and handicraft wholesalers, and Yanaka, where woodworking and fittings craftsmen have long resided, many residents keep tools and materials at home.

Are the leather scraps for leathercraft that you bought but never used, the DIY wood materials purchased from a home center, the stock of yarn and fabric, or the handicraft kit you started three years ago but never opened—all lying dormant in your storage or workshop, continuously occupying valuable space?

Leather and wood are heavy and difficult to transport, tools are often treated as hazardous waste and difficult to dispose of through local government services, and large quantities of yarn, fabric, and handicraft supplies are troublesome to sort. Unused tools and materials, which you intended to use 'someday,' are prime examples of unwanted items that are difficult to decide on disposing of and often left untouched without fetching a price on flea markets.

May is the time after Golden Week when people decide to 'stop making things' and declutter. Marutto Honpo responds to the heightened demand for 'Taito Ward waste collection,' 'DIY tool disposal Kuramae,' and 'bulk collection of leather scraps and wood' during this period.

Marutto Honpo Waste Collection Service (operated by SYSTR Inc. / Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo) is launching a limited-time campaign in Taito Ward for the bulk collection of 'tools and materials you intended to use someday.'

For collections including long-term storage items such as leather, wood, handicraft supplies, and DIY tools, a 1,000 yen discount will be applied to the total amount in May.

This campaign provides an opportunity to organize all the tools and materials that have been dormant with the intention of being used 'someday,' especially after Golden Week.

✅ Background and Purpose

Taito Ward, including areas like Asakusa, Ueno, Kuramae, Asakusabashi, Yanaka, and Minowa, is also a downtown area of Tokyo with traditional artisan districts and wholesale streets.

Specifically,

・Leather and leather tools, and leather scraps collected in Kuramae
・Yarn, fabric, and handicraft kits purchased from wholesalers in Asakusabashi
・DIY wood materials, offcuts, and power tools bought in bulk from home centers

These items are often difficult to decide on disposing of and tend to occupy storage rooms and workshops for long periods.

This campaign was planned to support bulk disposal, aligning with the increased need for organizing tools and materials after Golden Week in May.
