Pyeongtaek City to Operate Used School Uniform Exchange Market

Pyeongtaek City announced on the 10th that it will open and operate a used school uniform exchange market over two days on the 18th and 19th of next month.

Accordingly, the used school uniform exchange market will be held simultaneously at three locations: the plaza in front of City Hall, Ichung Fountain Park, and Anjung Hyunhwa Park.

This market is an event designed to support students from low-income households, and offers the dual benefit of promoting resource recycling through the exchange of used uniforms.

To this end, the city has installed uniform collection boxes at 22 community centers in each eup, myeon, and dong, as well as at middle and high schools within the city to encourage citizen participation.

A city official stated, "Through citizens' active participation, we will concentrate all administrative efforts to create a meaningful opportunity to practice neighborly love and to establish a culture of sharing and giving in daily life."
