[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Seon-gang] Dong-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City (Mayor Im Taek) announced on the 18th that on the 17th, together with students and parents of Salesio Girls' Middle and High School (Principal Nam Min-young) in the district, they created a 'Resident Participation Garden' in Jisan 1-dong's 'Resource Circulation Apple Village.'

Recently, Dong-gu designated the area near Salesio Girls' Middle and High School, which was a habitual illegal dumping site in a cluster of one-room apartments, as a Resource Circulation Village and formed the 'Resource Circulation Apple Village Resident Council' to promote various projects aimed at creating a trash-free village.

Meanwhile, Dong-gu created a 'Resident Participation Garden' on the site where trash was cleaned up in the habitual dumping area of Jisan 1-dong and separately installed signs indicating trash disposal locations in front of one-room apartments in the district.

About 50 people, including Dong-gu Mayor Im Taek, students and parents of Salesio Girls' Middle and High School, and members of the Jisan 1-dong Resident Council, participated in the event and planted apple trees in the Resident Participation Garden. After planting, they plan to attach name tags and take responsibility for continuous management.

Mayor Im Taek of Dong-gu said, "We have been deeply concerned about solving the trash problem in the university area with dense one-room apartments," adding, "Through active cleaning administration such as creating the Resident Participation Garden with public and private cooperation, we will make Dong-gu streets beautiful and free of trash."
