Hello! This is Kasahara from Nishida Service.
After a long stretch of rain, the skies have finally cleared, and today feels calm and settled for the first time in a while.
I hope we can enjoy this deepening autumn with a bright and refreshing mood.
This time, I would like to introduce a tatami mat removal job requested by an office in Kohoku Ward, Yokohama.
Two of our staff members visited the site and carried out the tatami removal.
The work was completed in under an hour, and we were able to finish the collection without any problems.

At first glance, a tatami mat may look like one large, board-like item,
but it is actually made by combining several different materials.
Traditional tatami consists of a woven rush grass surface (tatami-omote) and a core (tatami-doko) made of materials such as rice straw.
In recent years, however, there are also tatami mats made with wood fiber building materials, resin, or foam.
As a result, the structure and materials vary depending on the type of tatami,
and not all tatami mats can be disposed of in the same way.
For example, when dismantling tatami to sort it by material, it is necessary to check not only the surface layer but also the inner core and the edging.
Because the disposal method differs by material, proper sorting takes considerable effort.
In addition, tatami mats are large and heavy,
so even dismantling them is hard work.
When disposing of multiple mats, sorting the dismantled materials and carrying them out also takes a great deal of time and labor.

When disposing of tatami, one point deserves particular attention: where the waste came from.
In Yokohama City, waste generated through business activities generally cannot be put out at household waste collection points.
It must be divided into general business waste and industrial waste, and handled in the appropriate way for each type of waste.
For tatami as well, the handling may differ depending on the materials used and the circumstances under which it was discarded.
For example, tatami mats removed during an office cleanout and tatami mats removed during building renovation work may fall under different waste categories.
For this reason, rather than treating it like bulky household waste, it is important to check the details of each situation.
Also, even if you try to cut tatami mats into small pieces yourself, preparing the tools, dismantling them, and sorting by material can take far more effort than you might expect.
Disposing of tatami can involve a lot of work, from checking the materials to sorting and carrying them out, depending on the situation.
If it is difficult to handle on your own, please do not push yourself, and consider asking a professional service.
If you are struggling with office junk removal or a business premises cleanout, please feel free to contact us.
We will continue to strive to provide junk removal service that you can trust with confidence!
