[Asia Economy (Suwon) = Reporter Lee Young-gyu] Suwon City in Gyeonggi Province will adjust the collection time for household waste during the summer season, when heatwaves are expected, to 5 a.m. to 2 p.m. Citizens can dispose of their trash as usual from 8 p.m. to 5 a.m. the next day, regardless of the change in collection time.

On the 25th, Suwon City announced that from June to September, considering sunrise times, the household waste collection time will be adjusted from 6 a.m. to 3 p.m. to 5 a.m. to 2 p.m.
