Seonjaeuro-gu Seryue 3-dong Improves Garbage Bag Distribution Method

Seryue 3-dong (head of district: Do Jae-ho) in Seonjaeuro-gu announced on the 12th that it will conduct a full-scale survey through the 14th to improve the distribution method of garbage bags that are provided to basic livelihood security recipients (350 households) and national merit medal holders eligible for medical assistance (13 households).

According to the "Suwon City Waste Management Ordinance," garbage bags are distributed to eligible recipients at 50 liters per person per month. Until now, bags have been distributed monthly through neighborhood heads to confirm the well-being of recipient households; however, the survey was initiated following suggestions that some recipients are reluctant to expose their privacy or cannot be reached because they are away from home.

An official from the district said, "For those with mobility difficulties, we will gather opinions through this survey and develop a reasonable and efficient method, such as having the neighborhood head deliver directly to their homes or receiving bags at the neighborhood community center."
