Suwon Launches Intensive Enforcement Against Non-Compliance with Waste Disposal Times Starting April

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Jung Jun-sung] Suwon Special City announced on the 29th that it will conduct intensive enforcement starting in April against single-family homes and commercial establishments that fail to comply with residential waste disposal times and illegally dispose of waste in front of their doors, with administrative fines to be imposed beginning in May.

The city has designated April as a guidance period to establish proper waste disposal time compliance, and plans to conduct full-scale enforcement from May onward, imposing administrative fines of 100,000 won for violations.

The designated residential waste disposal time is 8:00 p.m. to 5:00 a.m. the following day. Waste cannot be disposed of on weekends.

For enforcement against illegal waste disposal, the illegal dumping task forces from all four districts (clean waste disposal supervisors) and district and neighborhood administrative officials will jointly conduct inspections.

A city official stated, "If disposal times are not observed, waste will not be collected on schedule even if properly sorted and will be left on roads, causing problems such as odor and environmental pollution," and added, "During the guidance period, we will promote proper waste sorting methods, focusing on areas vulnerable to waste disposal violations."
