[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Seon-gang] Dong-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City (Mayor Im Taek) announced on the 22nd that it has signed a business agreement for the innovation of cleaning administration called ‘One Institution·Organization, One Clean Zone Designation’ with the Dong-gu Autonomous Crime Prevention Association (representative chairman of 9 autonomous crime prevention squads, Kim Seong-gwan).

Dong-gu declared this year as the inaugural year for ‘Making Dong-gu Free of Trash’ and has been continuously promoting cleanliness agreements with various institutions and organizations in the district. It has signed relay agreements numbered 28 to 36 with 9 autonomous crime prevention squads in Dongmyeong-dong, Gyerim 1·2-dong, Sansu 1·2-dong, Jisan-dong, Seonam-dong, Hak-dong, and Jiwon-dong.

This agreement was promoted with the purpose of mutual cooperation to address the increasingly serious problems of household waste and environmental pollution, and to establish a proper culture of recyclable waste disposal for creating a clean environment.

Both organizations will strive to implement 14 practical tasks including ▲compliance with waste disposal times ▲creating alley gardens by tending one flowerpot ▲participation in the zero single-use item campaign ▲sweeping in front of one’s home or store for 10 minutes daily ▲practicing food waste reduction ▲continuous management of the agreed clean zones, among others.

In particular, the crime prevention squads plan to actively engage in strengthening surveillance activities in areas vulnerable to illegal dumping during their usual nighttime patrols to prevent illegal dumping in advance, and to take responsibility for cleaning designated clean zones and creating alley gardens to establish ‘Beautiful alleys where flowers breathe! Environmentally friendly streets.’

Im Taek, Mayor of Dong-gu, said, “I sincerely thank the 36 institutions and organizations that have joined the relay agreement for Dong-gu’s cleanliness campaign,” and added, “We will continue to promote the designation of one clean zone per institution and organization so that the public and government can jointly create a clean and pleasant Dong-gu.”
