Kita Ward is a diverse area with a mix of detached houses, apartments, and condominiums in neighborhoods like Akabane, Jūjō, Ōji, and Tabata, where many residents enjoy DIY projects and weekend carpentry on balconies and in storage sheds. In this community, we often hear, "I bought materials intending to use them, but they’ve just been sitting unused."
Wood planks or 2x4s purchased for shelving, half-used paint or varnish that’s starting to harden, loose hardware and screws scattered in boxes, or an unfinished shelf abandoned mid-assembly—have these DIY materials you once planned to use been occupying your workspace, balcony, or storage shed for months?
Disposing of DIY materials can be challenging: long wood pieces are classified as bulky waste, paint cans with leftover contents can’t be discarded through regular channels, and small hardware requires meticulous sorting. The more items you have, the harder it becomes to start cleaning, and many end up leaving everything as-is.
June marks the rainy season, making outdoor work and painting difficult and increasing the likelihood of interrupted DIY projects. This is also when demand spikes for searches like "DIY material disposal," "wood disposal," "how to discard leftover paint," and "junk removal in Kita Ward." Marutto Honpo is stepping in to meet this seasonal need.
Marutto Honpo (operated by SYSTR Co., Ltd. / Chiyoda City, Tokyo) is launching a limited-time campaign in Kita Ward for the bundled collection of unused DIY materials.
From June 2026, customers who include materials like wood, paint, hardware, or unfinished shelves in their collection will receive up to ¥2,000 off when using a fixed-rate package plan.
This campaign aims to help residents reset their stalled DIY plans and reclaim valuable space on balconies, in storage sheds, and work areas.
✅ Background and Purpose
Kita Ward includes areas such as Akabane, Jūjō, Higashi-Jūjō, Ōji, Shimo, Tabata, and Takanogawa—a mix of housing types from detached homes to apartments. Since the pandemic, with more people spending time at home, interest in DIY activities like building shelves, repairs, and furniture remodeling has grown. However, this has also led to an accumulation of leftover materials in homes.
In particular:
- Wood planks and 2x4s bought for shelving, now leaning unused in corners - Paint, varnish, or caulking stopped mid-use, with leftover contents - Unfinished shelves or DIY furniture left partially assembled
These items are hard to let go of, yet they continue to occupy balconies, storage spaces, and work areas for extended periods.
The rainy season in June brings high humidity and rain, making painting and outdoor DIY projects difficult. Recognizing this as a prime moment when people want to clear out unused materials and reclaim space, we’ve launched this campaign. All collected items will be handled with consideration for reuse and recycling.
