[Asia Economy Reporter Jong-il Park] Dongdaemun-gu (Mayor You Deok-yeol) has introduced an innovative large waste disposal system.

The district is officially operating the ‘Large Waste Smart Disposal Management Operation System’ project, which allows residents to easily report large waste disposal via mobile devices without needing to attach a disposal certificate.

This system also features a function that displays the location of disposed large waste on a map, enabling collection companies to check the status of reports in real time for prompt and efficient waste collection, while the district can strengthen management and supervision of the collection companies.

Previously, residents had to visit their local community service center or sign up on the district’s website to report large waste disposal online or via smartphone, and they had to print out and attach a disposal certificate, which was inconvenient.

With the introduction of this system, residents can easily report disposal without visiting the community center and regardless of device, and they can dispose of waste by simply writing the disposal number without attaching a certificate.

Additionally, once collection is completed, a text message is sent so residents can know the disposal application result in real time.

The waste location map, implemented for the first time nationwide, displays different colors according to the elapsed disposal period, allowing collection companies to move efficiently along optimized routes to collect waste.

The district can check collection status in real time through the map, making it easier to manage and supervise waste that has exceeded the disposal period.

A district official stated, “With the introduction of the nation’s first integrated waste management system, residents can report waste disposal at any community service center within Dongdaemun-gu, not just their own, and the district can manage reports received from community centers, internet, and mobile devices in an integrated manner.”

You Deok-yeol, Mayor of Dongdaemun-gu, said, “The systematic use of this system enables faster waste collection, which also leads to greater reliability in our work. We will continue to carry out various cleaning administrations for residents’ convenience and do our best to make Dongdaemun-gu a clean district.”
