[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Oh Hwan-joo] Muan County, Jeollanam-do (Governor Kim San) announced on the 24th that it has detected and administratively dealt with 152 cases of illegal garbage dumping this year as part of efforts to prevent environmental pollution.

The county currently operates 81 fixed and mobile CCTV cameras to prevent illegal garbage dumping, along with a dedicated enforcement team. Thanks to the voluntary participation of residents, the usage rate of volume-based waste bags has increased by more than 20% compared to before the enforcement.

A county official stated, “Although the use of volume-based waste bags has become established, some residents continue illegal dumping believing they cannot be caught. We plan to impose fines by thoroughly tracking down offenders through nighttime inspections and installing CCTV in vulnerable areas.”

Meanwhile, if you witness illegal or unauthorized garbage dumping, you can report it to the Environmental Department.
