Suwon Urban Development Corporation Conducts 'SNS Quiz Event' on Proper Household Battery Waste Separation

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Jeong Jun-sung] Suwon Urban Development Corporation (President Heo Jung-moon) announced on the 18th that it will conduct an SNS quiz event related to 'proper household battery waste separation' starting from the 23rd.

The SNS quiz event is being promoted to provide information on proper waste separation methods and help alleviate safety negligence, as recent battery fires have expanded this complacency to household batteries used in remote controls and toys.

Household waste batteries must be separated from remote controls and toys and disposed of in battery collection containers. Integrated waste batteries such as portable chargers must also be disposed of through collection containers.

If disposed of as general waste, harmful substances in the batteries may leak during the disposal process, causing environmental pollution. Furthermore, ignition from excessive pressure could lead to fire accidents, making proper waste separation essential.

The event will be held through August 9th on three official social media channels of the corporation (blog, Facebook, and Instagram) in a multiple-choice format where participants select two correct answers from four options.

Winners will be announced on the 13th of next month and will receive Starbucks beverage coupons.

President Heo Jung-moon said, "Safety issues are expanding in line with the growth of the battery industry," and "We hope for active participation in the SNS event to prevent household safety accidents."
