Kwonseon-gu Geumho-dong Launches Campaign to End Illegal Dumping

Geumho-dong in Kwonseon-gu announced on the 24th that honorary garbage surveillance monitors and dong office staff are conducting daily two-hour campaigns until the 27th to promote awareness of illegal dumping garbage collection restrictions, which take effect from May 1st.

As part of the "Love and War Against Garbage" project, Geumho-dong has been distributing notices about illegal dumping garbage collection restrictions and posting promotional banners throughout the district since early April through all staff members and community leaders.

Currently, the usage rate of volume-based fee garbage bags in our city is approximately 40 percent, and the separate disposal of recyclables remains inadequate. This has resulted in recyclables being wasted, squandering resources and causing serious budget waste from non-use of volume-based fee bags.

Cho Han-gyeong, chief of Geumho-dong, stated, "Starting next month, garbage without volume-based fee bags and garbage mixed with recyclables will not be collected, so inconvenience to residents is expected. Through continuous promotional campaigns and enforcement, we will do our utmost to reduce illegal garbage dumping and establish the use of designated bags to create a clean neighborhood."
