Seocho-gu Provides Free Food Waste Collection for Small Restaurants Struggling Due to COVID-19
Until the end of September, the district will provide free food waste collection for 8,052 small restaurants (under 200㎡) in the area... As part of support policies for small restaurants facing economic difficulties due to prolonged COVID-19 sales decline, the total fee reduction amounts to approximately 1.1 billion KRW
[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Seocho-gu (Mayor Eunhee Jo) announced that it will provide free food waste collection for small restaurants in the area struggling with a sharp decline in sales due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic.
This is part of the district's small business support policy to ease the management burden of small restaurants suffering from a rapid drop in sales caused by the high-intensity 'social distancing' measures that have reduced the number of customers visiting restaurants due to the spread of COVID-19.
Currently, small restaurants generally have to purchase payment certificates and attach them to dedicated food waste collection containers when disposing of food waste.
The district is promoting the revision of the 'Seocho-gu Ordinance on the Reduction, Collection, Transportation, and Recycling of Food Waste' enforcement rules to establish the legal basis for implementing free collection.
The revision process is expected to be completed in April, and free collection will be implemented immediately thereafter on a temporary basis until the end of September this year.
The target businesses are 8,052 general and casual restaurants with a store area of less than 200㎡ in the district. During the period, restaurants can dispose of food waste in dedicated containers from 6 PM to 1 AM without attaching payment certificates as usual.
The total amount of fee reduction through this free collection support is estimated to reach about 1.1 billion KRW.
