パソコンや小型家電を無料で廃棄。リネットジャパンの回収サービスを使ってみた(Impress Watch) - Yahoo!ニュース

 When you want to discard it, your computer (desktop PC/notebook PC/integrated PC) and display. These products cannot be issued to local governments as oversized garbage due to the "Effective Utilization Promotion Act of Resources Effective Utilization", which came into effect on October 1, 2003, and basically requested to collect directly from the manufacturer of the product. There is a need to. [See another image about this article] You can check the collection method on the web page of each manufacturer, but depending on the manufacturer, it is very difficult to understand the location of the page introduced about collection, so it is just to check the collection method. I have a hard time. The fee is free for products with a recycling mark, but for products without recycling marks. In the case of paid, it takes a lot of time, such as ordering a paper for payment, paying the fee, and deciding the collection date. Therefore, if you do not want to spend money, time, or hassle, it is better to use a recycling company that collects PCs for free, rather than asking the manufacturer to collect it. Of course, the trader needs to choose carefully. This time, I tried using "Linet Japan", which is affiliated with local governments, manufacturers, and mass retailers in the Ministry of the Environment, so I would like to report on the usability. Until March 31, 2022, PCs are collected free. ■ One of the reasons why we chose Linet Japan, which should not be issued to a waste collection company, is a certified company of the "Small Home Appliance Recycling Law" certified by the Ministry of the Environment and the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry. The small home appliance recycling method is a law for effectively utilizing useful resources that can be recycled, such as iron, aluminum, copper, precious metal, and rare metal contained in PCs and small home appliances. If you ask a certified company to collect a PC or the like, it will be appropriately recycled in an environmentally friendly way. If a non -certified company asks for recovery of a PC or the like, there is a possibility that only useful resources are extracted, and parts that contain harmful substances such as plastic, lead and arsenic are illegally dumped, which may be part of the environmental destruction. It should be noted that waste collection companies that are patroling throughout the town may not be a certified company of the Small Home Appliance Recycling Law. Linet Japan has a track record of collecting PCs and home appliances in partnership with many local governments, manufacturers, and major electronics retailers as a certified company of the Small Home Appliance Recycling Law, and there is a sense of security. ■ Personal information does not disappear by initialization. It is also charged to be abused by the trader, but the point that Linette Japan is also recommended is that the "Omakase Safety Data Erasing Service" is being implemented. Data stored in SSD and HDD does not completely disappear even if the PC is initialized. It can be restored by using a special software. Therefore, if the file is simply erased or the PC is initialized, it may be extracted and abused. The only way to completely delete the data stored in SSDs and HDDs is to physically destroy or use a dedicated app. The former takes time to remove SSDs and HDDs from PCs, and in the case of HDD, it is difficult to destroy. In the latter case, if you use a paid app that is easy to use, it costs more than 3,000 yen or more, and it may take several hours to erase it depending on the capacity. In addition, linet Japan has a free erasure software that can be used for free, but the corresponding OS is "WindowsXP/7", and it may not work depending on the version of the Windows OS. By the way, when I tried it in Windows 10 environment, it did not work. If the above is troublesome, you should use Linet Japan's "Omakase Safety Data Erase Service". The cost is 3,300 yen (tax included), and after the data is erased, a certificate of erasure is issued. One box (within a total of 140cm and 20kg) will be collected for free. Even if you put in multiple PCs, even if you put your mobile phone or small home appliances together with your PC, the collection fee is free if you fit in one box. It is possible to pack a considerable number of PCs and peripherals if it is packed up to 20kg with a total of 140cm on the 3 sides. The PC is broken and does not move, or without SSD or HDD, it is OK, and self -made PCs and PC parts are also eligible. Most home appliances are included in the collection, but TVs, air conditioners, washing machines, refrigerators, and stoves using oils and kerosene are not eligible. Linette Japan is also attractive to be able to discard a large number of equipment at once. This time, in addition to Surface Pro 4 and MacBook Air, which had been broken and had trouble disposing, I decided to collect unusual items such as 27 -inch LCD displays, scanners, parts such as motherboards, and fans. The box was used for a total of 140cm on the house, but if there is no box, you can purchase a pre -delivery service 42cm long, 31cm wide, and a height of 35cm for 438 yen. According to Linet Japan, there is no need to put cushioning material, but only the liquid crystal display is wrapped in a cushioning material so that the liquid crystal screen is broken and the liquid crystal does not scatter. Applying for home delivery collection is easy. All you have to do is declare the number of PCs and the number of collected boxes, set the recovery date and time, and register the recovery destination information. Here are the procedures below. This time, I was surprised to use Linet Japan, and it was more convenient than I expected. Applications are easy and collection is quick. Above all, if there is even one PC, not only PC peripheral devices but also small home appliances are free up to 20 kg, and it is thankful that they will collect them to the entrance. It is recommended if you have a PC you want to throw away, peripheral devices, or small home appliances. I would like to use it again if there is an unnecessary PC or peripheral device.
