Suncheon City Promotes 'Recyclable Materials Quality Improvement Support Project'

Creating a 'Cleaner Suncheon' Through Proper Recycling Waste Disposal

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Hyung-kwon] Suncheon City, Jeollanam-do (Mayor Heo Seok) announced on the 4th that it will promote the 'Recyclable Materials Quality Improvement Support Project' by receiving 1.198 billion KRW in national funding to stably manage the surge in recyclable waste caused by the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic.

Due to the increase in non-face-to-face consumption such as delivery and packaging, there have been difficulties in collecting and processing recyclable waste. The city plans to actively respond by supporting sorting personnel from the disposal stage to improve the quality of recyclables and prevent waste accumulation.

The city plans to hire 103 recyclable sorting assistants by accepting applications at administrative welfare centers from the day before until the 14th.

They will work at mandatory management apartment complexes and single-family home collection points to sort recyclable waste and guide proper separation and disposal, working for about six months from next month until November.

A city official stated, "Complaints about improper separation and disposal behaviors and increased waste disposal costs have been ongoing, but we hope this project will serve as an opportunity for citizens to separate waste correctly and for the city to be reborn as a clean city." He added, "We also hope this will contribute to employment stability during the difficult times of COVID-19."
