Oversized garbage must be carried out yourself

With 相模原市南区's door-to-door collection, in principle the applicant must carry the oversized garbage out to a designated spot in front of the building or on the premises themselves. Collection staff do not come into your room to pick it up, so dressers, beds, sofas, and large appliances can be a surprisingly heavy burden to move up and down stairs and carry out. It can be especially difficult on upper floors of buildings without an elevator, or for people living alone or the elderly to carry out on their own.

If you simply cannot carry it out yourself, or want to clear everything quickly without waiting for the collection day, one option is to use a junk removal company that handles carry-out and transport from inside your room. Since prices and services vary widely between companies, it's reassuring to compare quotes from several before deciding.
