Akishima City is a residential city in the Tama area, located near the Tama River and Showa no Mori, with a balanced mix of housing complexes, detached houses, and condominiums. In Akishima, we frequently hear that "disaster preparedness supplies stored for emergencies are left unused and expired in closets and storage sheds."

Expired emergency food, outdated disaster backpacks, portable toilets, lanterns, and water storage poly tanks—have the emergency supplies you prepared for emergencies been occupying your closets, storage sheds, and wardrobes for a long time?

Disaster preparedness supplies often contain a mix of food, paper, plastic, and metal, making it difficult to determine which waste category they belong to. Items like bulk-purchased water and emergency rations are heavy and hard to transport, so many people end up leaving them as-is.

June marks the beginning of the rainy season and flood season, a time when people naturally want to inspect and review their disaster preparedness. It's also the perfect timing to replace old supplies before typhoon season. As demand for "disaster supply disposal," "expired emergency food disposal," and "junk removal in Akishima City" increases, Marutto Honpo is stepping in to help.

Marutto Honpo junk removal service (operated by SYSTR Co., Ltd. / Chiyoda City, Tokyo) is launching a campaign exclusively in Akishima City to collect unused disaster preparedness supplies in bulk.

For collections that include expired emergency food, disaster goods, or other unused preparedness supplies, customers will receive up to ¥1,000 off the total amount when using a fixed-rate pack plan in June.

This campaign collects old disaster preparedness supplies in bulk, providing an opportunity to refresh and reorganize storage. We support disaster preparedness not just through stockpiling, but also through proper replacement.

✅ Background and Purpose

Akishima City is a residential city in the Tama area, centered around the Tama River, Showa no Mori, and Moritown, with housing complexes, detached houses, and condominiums. While households maintain high disaster awareness and stockpile supplies, these items expire every few years, and old supplies often remain after replacement.

In particular:

- Expired emergency food, rations, and stored water - Outdated disaster backpacks, portable toilets, lanterns, and poly tanks - Unused disaster goods, storage shelves, and containers

are often kept “just in case,” continuing to occupy limited storage spaces in closets, sheds, and housing complexes like Tsutsujigaoka.

The rainy and flood season in June is a time when people inspect their disaster preparedness and start organizing. More residents want to replace old supplies before typhoon season. As demand rises for disposing of old disaster supplies and updating emergency kits, we have launched this campaign. We collect items with consideration for reuse and recycling.
