[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Lee Jeong-hoon, Mayor of Gangdong-gu, awarded certificates of commendation to institutions that achieved excellent results in the ‘Household Waste Collection and Transportation Agency Evaluation’ on the morning of the 31st of last month.

Gangdong-gu underwent a major change in 2020 by completely overhauling the household waste collection system from the previous alternate-day and nighttime collection to daily and daytime collection, resulting in all collection agencies being replaced.

Although there were initial difficulties due to this innovative reform, which is unprecedented nationwide, the system is now stabilizing.

In particular, the ‘daytime collection’ reflects Gangdong-gu’s commitment to “a happier life together” and aims to improve the safety and working conditions of sanitation workers.

Lee Jeong-hoon, Mayor of Gangdong-gu, said, “I am very pleased to host the main contributors who worked hardest for the district throughout the year on the last day of 2020. The weather has become very harsh, so I ask that you always prioritize your health and safety while working on site. We will continue to think deeply and strive to improve working conditions.”
