Jang-an District Songzuk-dong Conducts Sampling Inspection of Waste Disposal

Songzuk-dong in Jang-an District announced on the 24th that it conducted a sampling inspection of waste disposal on the 23rd at Suwon's Resource Recovery Facility to identify the status of illegal waste dumping.

The inspection was conducted with resident representatives participating to allow residents to directly confirm the actual status of waste generated in their neighborhood and raise awareness ahead of the implementation on May 1st of measures to suspend collection of garbage not using volume-rate bags and to ban the entry of volume-rate bags mixed with recyclables.

Kim Yong-deok, head of Songzuk-dong, said, "Songzuk-dong is an area densely populated with houses and villas where waste sorting and separation is somewhat inadequate, and there are still residents who do not comply with the use of volume-rate bags and proper separation of recyclables." He added, "Going forward, we will operate an illegal dumping crackdown team working together with residents, take strong measures against illegal activities, and continuously promote proper waste disposal methods to make Songzuk-dong a more pleasant community."
