Jungnang-gu, Special Garbage Collection for Kimjang Season

Special Collection Period for Kimchi-Making Waste from November 1 to December 31 for General and Multi-Family Housing and Small Restaurants... Separate Disposal of Chili Stems, Green Onion Roots, Onion and Garlic Peels as Household Waste

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Jungnang-gu (Mayor Ryu Gyeonggi) is operating a special collection period for kimchi-making waste.

The district will operate the special collection period for kimchi-making waste for two months until December 31.

During the special collection period, kimchi-making waste should be separated from food waste, household waste, and recyclables. Vegetables such as leftover napa cabbage, radish, and green onions should be chopped finely, and foreign substances such as moisture, salt, and red pepper powder should be removed as much as possible before being placed in general volume-based waste bags of 20 liters or more for disposal.

To prepare for the large amount of waste, the district will operate three mobile teams for kimchi-making waste collection by cleaning contractors to prevent complaints caused by uncollected or accumulated kimchi-making waste. At the same time, they plan to conduct crackdowns on illegal dumping to prevent mixed disposal.

Also, since there is a risk of non-collection if mixed with household waste or food waste, residents are urged to carefully check the designated collection days, times, and disposal guidelines for each neighborhood before disposal.

Ryu Gyeonggi, Mayor of Jungnang-gu, said, "We thank all residents for always cooperating in waste disposal," and added, "We ask for your cooperation in following the disposal guidelines during this special kimchi-making waste collection period to help keep Jungnang clean."

The district has produced and distributed 40,000 promotional leaflets to announce the operation of this special collection period and is actively informing the public about disposal methods in cooperation with traditional markets, small restaurants, and related organizations.
