Japan Recycle Map
Japan Recycle Map is a web application for finding collection points for everyday recyclable items such as batteries, ink cartridges, used cooking oil, and heated tobacco devices.
Collection information is often scattered across municipalities, manufacturers, and recycling programs. This project organizes multiple public data sources into one searchable map so users can find nearby collection points by item and area.
Key Features

Item Category Filtering
- Filter by categories such as button batteries, rechargeable batteries, ink cartridges, used cooking oil, and heated tobacco devices.
- Integrates multiple data sources to reduce the work of searching each program separately.
