[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] Jinju City, Gyeongnam Province, announced on the 7th that it will operate the "Resource Management Helper," a recycling quality improvement support project that pre-sorts the increased recyclable waste at the disposal stage due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic, until November.

In response to the significant increase in disposable product use caused by COVID-19, the city will hire personnel to properly separate and sort recyclable waste such as plastic, waste Styrofoam, and waste vinyl to prevent waste accumulation and improve quality.

On the 1st, the city held training sessions twice with dispersed groups of 126 people hired as Resource Management Helpers at the City Hall Citizen Hall, following social distancing guidelines.

The Resource Management Helpers will work at recycling collection points in apartment complexes to promote correct recycling separation and disposal methods to residents for proper sorting and quality improvement of recyclables.

A city official stated, "Pre-sorting recyclables at the disposal stage will greatly help not only in proper waste treatment but also in creating public jobs," and added, "We ask for residents' active interest and cooperation in the correct separation and disposal of recyclables."
