Hwasun-gun Implements 'Household Waste Management Measures' for Chuseok Holiday

[Hwasun=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Ji-woon] Jeonnam Hwasun-gun (Governor Gu Chung-gon) announced on the 17th that it will implement the "Chuseok Holiday Household Waste Disposal Measures" to alleviate residents' inconvenience caused by household waste during the Chuseok holiday and to create a pleasant holiday atmosphere.

The county expects a large amount of household waste, such as Chuseok gift packaging materials, amid an increase in recyclable waste due to the rise in delivery consumption caused by COVID-19.

In addition, an emergency cleaning system will be established and operated until the 24th to prevent any inconvenience to residents, such as collection delays.

First, a large-scale cleaning campaign for Chuseok will be conducted focusing on multi-use facilities such as residential areas, vacant lots, major roadsides, terminals, and markets, along with promoting proper household waste disposal methods and intensively cracking down on illegal dumping.

Especially this year, as the Chuseok holiday lasts for five consecutive days, in the case of Hwasun-eup, waste will be collected normally on the 18th, when the holiday begins, and on the 20th, the day before Chuseok.

For the remaining three days, a mobile response team will be organized to promptly respond to waste disposal complaints.

In the myeon areas, household waste collection will be carried out for 2 to 3 days during the holiday according to local circumstances.

A county official said, "To ensure smooth household waste collection, residents are asked to check the waste collection days for each eup and myeon and put out their waste the night before," adding, "We ask for active cooperation in reducing food waste and eradicating illegal dumping of garbage."
