Gwangju Nam-gu Changes Large Waste Collection Method

Existing Donghaeng Administrative Welfare Center → Delegated System to Collection and Transportation Companies

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Seon-gang] Nam-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City (District Mayor Kim Byeong-nae) announced that starting from the 2nd, the collection and transportation of large waste items will be handled by a specialized company to ensure stable processing of various large waste and recyclables discarded from households and to improve work efficiency.

According to Nam-gu, from this day forward, large waste items discharged from households within the district will be collected and transported through the specialized company, Bukbu Environment Co., Ltd.

This system was reorganized from the previous method of reporting and receiving requests through the administrative welfare centers of the residential jurisdiction to a system where the specialized company handles the tasks to ensure prompt processing of large waste and recyclables and minimize inconvenience to residents.

Accordingly, from this day, when disposing of large waste items at home, residents can call Bukbu Environment Co., Ltd. to request collection or download the mobile app ‘Yeogiro’ to register and then dispose of the waste.

Additionally, for heavy waste home appliances, residents can call ‘1599-0903’ to receive a free collection service.

Previously, Nam-gu conducted a public recruitment in November last year to select a company to delegate the large waste collection and transportation tasks, evaluating business performance and technical capabilities, and finally selected Bukbu Environment Co., Ltd. as the project operator.

A Nam-gu official stated, “This change was made to process large waste generated within the district more efficiently and stably,” and added, “We will do our best to minimize residents’ inconvenience by providing smooth and stable cleaning administrative services.”
