What GoodService does

GoodService (株式会社GoodService) is a privately held, founder-controlled waste collection and recycling services company headquartered in Nagoya, Aichi Prefecture, Japan, operating under representative director Yamamura Hideaki. The company provides junk collection, bulky waste and home appliance removal, estate and pre-mortem settlement, special cleaning (including crime/odor scenes), building demolition, and high-value item purchase across the Tokai region — specifically Aichi, Gifu, and Mie prefectures — supported by four physical offices in Nagoya (headquarters, Nagoya East, Nagoya West) and Gifu City.

The business model is built on per-item and tiered-plan pricing (basic fee of 1,980 yen plus 550 yen per item; S/M/L/LL plans ranging from 16,280 to 98,780 yen), combined with a resale channel that exports items not sellable domestically to the Philippines and Cambodia, where the company also operates a recycling shop. Revenue diversification spans four streams: waste collection fees (transaction-based), valuable-item purchase and resale (hardware sales), specialized cleaning and demolition (professional services), and estate/pre-mortem organization (professional services). A secondary software product, the Moshikatsu (もし活) mobile app for solitary-death prevention monitoring, extends the product surface into elder-care-adjacent services.

Customer acquisition is sales-led, driven by inbound phone (0120-952-005), LINE-based photo estimation, email inquiry, and a heavily SEO-optimized regional website (kataduke-kaitori.com). The company reports 6,000+ jobs annually, serves both residential (primary) and corporate/government clients, and runs on 100% in-house staffing with no subcontracted labor, supporting a same-day, 30-minute response time in core areas. Ancillary differentiators include Privacy Mark certification, Consumer Affairs Agency self-declaration, multiple prefectural operating licenses, and a long-running vaccine donation partnership with JCV.

Revenue model

1. Waste Collection & Disposal Fees: Primary revenue from charging fees for collecting and disposing of bulky waste, furniture, appliances, and general refuse from residential and commercial customers. Pricing is per-item or by fixed-size plans (S/M/L/LL).
2. Purchase & Resale of Valuables: Revenue from purchasing and reselling valuable items (appliances, brand goods, antiques, sake, power tools) either domestically or internationally (Philippines, Cambodia). Items that cannot be sold domestically are exported to overseas markets, with the resale value offsetting collection costs.
3. Specialized Cleaning Services: Revenue from specialized cleaning services including crime scene cleanup (孤独死現場的特殊清扫), odor removal, and sanitization/decontamination services. Also includes building demolition services.
4. Estate & Legacy Item Services: Revenue from estate liquidation (遺品整理), pre-mortem organization (生前整理), and memorial services. Includes optional memorial photo service and group memorial ceremonies (合同供养).
