Damyang County Council Enacts Ordinance Supporting Collection and Disposal of Used Agricultural Materials
[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yukbong] The Damyang County Council in Jeonnam (Chairman Kim Jeong-o) announced on the 7th that the "Ordinance on Support for Collection and Disposal of Waste Agricultural Materials," which includes support for consignment disposal of waste agricultural materials, has been promulgated.
This ordinance, proposed by Chairman Kim Jeong-o to reduce the farming expenses burden on farmers, increase farm income, and contribute to the creation of a pleasant rural landscape, passed the 289th plenary session on the 20th of last month, establishing the first institutional basis in the nation for consignment disposal of waste agricultural materials.
The main contents of the ordinance provide the basis for projects promoting the collection and disposal of waste agricultural materials, their scope, and project support, and include provisions on the designation or installation of temporary storage sites for waste agricultural materials, as well as matters related to the storage, collection, and disposal of waste agricultural materials.
Chairman Kim said, "As the number of facility greenhouses increases, the illegal dumping of waste agricultural materials such as waste vinyl and thermal covers in rural fields is causing not only damage to the rural landscape but also serious environmental problems such as soil pollution. Especially, the existing waste agricultural materials collection system has limitations for voluntary collection by farmers due to labor shortages caused by rural aging and poor financial conditions."
