ECO Friend（エコフレンド） is a local unwanted-item collection service based in Yokohama, Kanagawa, Japan, operated by 株式会社エコフレンド. The website primarily serves residents and businesses in Yokohama, offering services such as unwanted-item pickup, bulky waste collection, purchasing of resellable items, estate cleanouts, and full room/apartment clearance.
Its main value is “on-site handling.” Users can request a quote quickly by phone or through the website, and the site claims to accept inquiries 24/7, 365 days a year, with fast dispatch within Yokohama. The service covers a wide range of items, including TVs, computers, refrigerators, washing machines, air conditioners, furniture, sports equipment, musical instruments, bicycles, and more. For heavy items, large quantities, or situations where users cannot move items themselves, staff will handle the removal. It also supports night-time service, weekends and public holidays, large-volume waste disposal, and cleanup of so-called “garbage houses.”
The site uses a relatively simple category-based pricing model, with many appliances, furniture items, and miscellaneous goods listed as starting from 0 yen. Other home appliances are around 0–1,980 yen, while furniture and other miscellaneous items are around 0–4,980 yen. The page also advertises a light-truck load at around 9,800 yen. If the items have second-hand resale value, the company will first provide a purchase appraisal, which may offset the disposal fee or even result in a payout. However, the final price still depends on size, age, condition, quantity, and the difficulty of removal, so confirmation by phone or an on-site visit is required.
The strengths are its strong local focus, fast response, broad collection coverage, and the fact that it lists an industrial waste collection and transport permit, secondhand dealer license, and estate cleanout certification, which adds credibility. Free estimates and no call-out fee also lower the cost of making an inquiry. The downsides are that the website feels somewhat traditional, while online booking and payment methods are not clearly explained. Although price ranges are provided, pricing transparency for more complex jobs still depends on manual quoting. The service area is mainly limited to Yokohama and nearby areas, so it has limited relevance for users in China or other parts of Japan.
It is suitable for people living in Yokohama who are moving, ending a lease, clearing out belongings after an elderly relative passes away, disposing of old appliances or furniture, or for businesses that need to get rid of office equipment or warehouse clutter. If you only have a single item and are not in a hurry, it is also worth comparing Yokohama’s official bulky waste collection service, which is often cheaper but usually slower.
This is a standard local Japanese service website and is usually accessible directly from mainland China. However, since its business depends entirely on on-site service in Japan, it is mainly useful for Chinese users who live, study, or work in Japan, or who need help clearing property there.
