[Muan＝Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Oh Hwan-joo] Muan-gun, Jeollanam-do, is receiving explosive popularity from residents for its waste battery and waste paper pack exchange event, which runs until the 30th.

According to the county on the 26th, this event, which has been ongoing since October, was held to increase the collection rate of economically valuable waste resources and to provide residents with opportunities to directly participate in resource circulation activities. A total of 18 schools and 58 apartment complexes participated.

Thanks to the active participation of residents, 3,241 kg of waste batteries and 1,059 kg of waste paper packs have been collected so far. The collected waste batteries and waste paper packs will be recycled as valuable resources.

County Governor Kim San said, "The waste battery and waste paper pack exchange project is a carbon-neutral movement that can be easily practiced in daily life," adding, "I hope more residents will participate in the event as small actions by residents can collectively protect the environment."

Meanwhile, the waste battery and waste paper pack exchange will continue in the future, and waste batteries can be exchanged for new batteries, and waste paper packs can be exchanged for roll toilet paper at the New Town Support Group and each eup/myeon office.
