Last updated: 2026-03-24

Basic Information

Stuffed toys hold so many memories. The time spent together, the joy when you received them, the comfort they provided during difficult times...

It's completely natural to feel reluctant to throw them away as "garbage."

💡 Alternatives to disposal:

🙏 Memorial service — Some shrines and temples hold ceremonies for beloved items
🌍 Donation — Give them a new life with children through NPOs
♻️ Recycle shops — Good condition items may find new owners
📱 Flea market apps — Connect directly with people who love the same characters

If you must part ways, take a moment to thank them for the memories before saying goodbye.

Stuffed Toy is classified as Oversized Garbage.

Choose the disposal method based on your situation.

Put it out on the regular collection day as instructed.

Apply for oversized garbage collection or consider using a waste collection service.

• Waste collection service: Same-day service may be available (fee required)
• Recycle shop: May buy if in good condition
• Flea market apps: Consider selling if still usable
