It looks like Nishinomiya City will start accepting bulky waste collection applications via LINE.

This will be available from Monday, August 3.
How to apply for bulky waste collection on LINE
The city hall’s official page explains it with images, and it’s incredibly easy to understand. (This level of clarity really shows how serious the city hall is about introducing LINE.)

That said, for step 1, adding the LINE account as a friend from a smartphone seems to only mention ID search, but you can register as a friend easily by clicking below.

After that, try following the instructions from step 2 on the official page.
Bulky Waste Fees
Even if you apply via LINE, you still need to purchase “bulky waste disposal tickets.”
They are sold in units of 300 yen. You can buy them at stores in Nishinomiya City such as the following:
- 7-Eleven
- Lawson
- FamilyMart
- Aeon
- Ikari Supermarket
- Kansai Supermarket
- Co-op
- And various other places
Please see the page below for a list of stores that sell them, fee estimates, and more.

How to Put Out Bulky Waste
Here are the key points to note when putting out bulky waste.
- Put it at the collection location specified in your application
- By 8:30 a.m. on the collection day
- The amount you can apply for at one time is roughly equivalent to two study desks
- Same-day collection on the day you apply is not available. It will be from the next day onward.
Finally
Applying by phone has reception hours and can feel like a bit of a hassle, so it’s easy to put off. With LINE, though, it seems simple enough to do right away.
