Cost for disposing of bulky waste

We made a list of furniture and large electrical home appliances that a family of four members owned. Then, we calculated the total amount for discarding them as bulky waste through a refuse disposal system of a regional city office. This family may have a little more furniture than the average family of four members has. Yet, the total amount is only 38,300 yen for discarding all (except for a refrigerator, a washing machine and a large TV).

Relatively new furniture is possible to be recycled.  Discarding bulky waste in a correct way will bring to the result of protecting our environment.
