Andong-si Offers 'Reward for Reporting' Illegal Waste Dumping in Mountainous Areas... "Need to Check Usage of Large Warehouses"

Andong City Hall

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Jae-ho] Andong City announced on the 15th that it has introduced and is implementing a reward system for reporting illegal waste dumping, which is believed to be rampant in large warehouses and other areas, especially in mountainous regions.

The reporting reward is paid up to a maximum of 3 million KRW based on the first trial verdict of the court. Household-generated waste is excluded from the reward payment.

Reports can be made to the Andong City Resource Circulation Division or the administrative welfare centers of the relevant eup, myeon, or dong jurisdictions by attaching objectively verifiable evidence such as personal information of the violator and photos or videos proving the violation.

An official from Andong City stated, "When leasing land and buildings, it is essential to check the site to see what purpose the tenant is using it for, and if the rent offered is unreasonably higher than the market price, there is a need to suspect illegal waste dumping."
