Gwangjin-gu 'Mat-ui Geori' Food Waste Container Cleaning

Twice-Weekly Cleaning of Over 620 Collection Containers Across 4 Flavor Streets

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Gwangjin-gu (Mayor Kim Seon-gap) is conducting a cleaning project targeting food waste collection containers installed in the local Taste Street area for the summer season.

Until now, food waste collection containers have not been properly managed, causing issues such as road obstruction and foul odors, with residents experiencing greater inconvenience especially during the hot summer months.

Accordingly, the district will carry out a cleaning project and management of the food waste collection containers for a total of five months from this month through October.

The targets for management are approximately 620 food waste collection containers installed in four areas: Kondae Taste Street, Migaro, Neungmaru Taste Street, and Yangkkochi Street.

The cleaning will utilize high-temperature steam spraying to disinfect, clean, and simultaneously remove odors. Considering the food waste collection days, Kondae Taste Street will be cleaned twice a week on Mondays and Fridays, while Migaro, Neungmaru Taste Street, and Yangkkochi Street will be cleaned twice a week on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Kim Seon-gap, Mayor of Gwangjin-gu, said, “Especially in summer, many people feel discomfort due to odors and insects coming from food waste collection containers. We will carefully manage even the smallest details so that many people visit Taste Street and the local economy can be revitalized.”

In addition, the district also cleans food waste volume-based containers installed in apartment complexes and general residences three times a month during the hot season from June to August, and twice a month during other months to prevent odors and other issues.
