[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Jeong Hyeong-seok] Mokpo City (Mayor Kim Jong-sik) announced on the 23rd that it will undertake cleanliness management of household waste disposal sites to create a clean and pleasant urban environment.

Until now, household waste disposal sites have been a chronic source of complaints due to excessive odors and deterioration of city aesthetics caused by indiscriminately discarded garbage and damage to garbage bags by stray cats.

Accordingly, the city plans to install and pilot operate 24 “household waste separation bins” designed in the shape of the marine cable car at densely populated residential areas and near one-room apartment complexes, with plans to expand installation in the future to transform household waste disposal sites into more pleasant places.

In addition, to create a pleasant urban area, the city will operate the “Mokpo Love Movement Cleanliness Task Force” to regularly wash the disposal sites with water, thoroughly clean remaining debris, and disinfect to reduce odors, minimizing citizen inconvenience through continuous management of disposal sites.

Furthermore, to eradicate illegal dumping, the city will expand the operation of mobile surveillance CCTVs in vulnerable areas and promote various public awareness campaigns to improve citizens’ consciousness.

A Mokpo city official stated, “We will do our best to eradicate illegal dumping through multifaceted methods such as managing household waste disposal sites and resident publicity, enhancing the city’s image, and preserving a clean living environment,” and added, “We also ask for active participation and cooperation from citizens.”
