Yangcheon-gu Temporarily Distributes Dedicated Kimchi Waste Bags (20ℓ)

Temporary Use of 20ℓ Dedicated Bags for Efficient Disposal of Large Amounts of Food Waste During Kimjang Season... Purchase Through Existing Vendors, Usable Throughout Yangcheon-gu Regardless of Dong District

[Asia Economy Reporter Jong-il Park] Yangcheon-gu (Mayor Soo-young Kim, photo) plans to alleviate residents' inconvenience by temporarily distributing special kimchi-making waste bags (20ℓ, orange) to efficiently handle the large amount of raw food waste (food waste discarded when preparing ingredients before cooking) that occurs during the kimchi-making season.

Currently, dedicated food waste bags (green) are available in sizes 1, 2, 3, 5, and 10ℓ, but it has been inconvenient to dispose of the large volume of raw food waste generated during the kimchi-making season using these standard bags.

In particular, for apartment complexes using RFID (Radio Frequency IDentification) individual volume-based waste meters, disposing of kimchi-making waste in the general food waste bags risks temporary overload due to exceeding processing capacity, making countermeasures necessary.

The kimchi-making waste bags being distributed this time can be purchased for 2,000 KRW per bag at existing sales locations and can be used throughout Yangcheon-gu regardless of district. Apartment complexes using RFID individual volume-based meters should dispose of the bags separately next to the meter. However, if the amount of kimchi-making waste is small, or if the food waste is seasoned, pickled, or contains moisture, it should be disposed of in the existing food waste bags of 10ℓ or less (green). Restaurants, stores, and other businesses should attach a payment sticker when disposing of waste.
