Gwonseon-gu Senior Civil Servants Experience Recycling Facility Operations

Gwonseon-gu, Suwon City (District Chief Kim Jeong-su) visited a recycling sorting facility on the 24th for a two-hour field experience with senior civil servants, observing the sorting operations firsthand.

As residents' living standards have improved and consumption activities have become more active in recent times, household waste has increased rapidly. Correspondingly, public interest in environmental issues has grown, and the importance of waste recycling has become increasingly prominent.

During the field experience, participants toured the overall operations of the recycling sorting facility, which processes a total of 160 tons of recyclable materials daily, sorting and classifying them by type including bulky waste, bottles, film materials, and styrofoam, and then handling them efficiently. Wearing dust masks and work uniforms, the participants also engaged in hands-on sorting work.
