Living without throwing things away

※Request from AntaaLab※

Thank you very much for always using our store.
Our company's concept is "living without throwing away," and we collect items that can be recycled (Antaa) that would otherwise be thrown away.
Although it is rare, there are cases where the purpose is simply to dispose of miscellaneous items or move furniture and household goods.
Please note that we cannot accept such requests.
Therefore, please scroll down below to see the section on items that can be picked up.

When we rescue something, we place importance on whether it is something that we would want to leave to the next generation and whether we can suggest ways to use or utilize it.
We are not a waste disposal company, and rescue is not the same as disposing of unwanted items. We cannot accept all items. Please be aware of this in advance.
