[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Jungnang-gu (Mayor Ryu Kyung-gi) will provide additional recycling sorting bins to local urban-style residential housing.

The district supported recycling bins for urban-style residential housing, which has more difficulty separating recyclables compared to apartment complexes, last September. However, starting from the 25th, with the mandatory enforcement of the transparent PET bottle and vinyl separation disposal system, additional recycling bins will be provided to efficiently sort and collect recyclables.

The target includes urban-style residential housing with 10 or more households such as row houses, multi-family houses, and one-room units. A resident actually living in the housing must be designated as the manager.

Applications are accepted on a first-come, first-served basis and will be received continuously until supplies run out. The process involves designating a dedicated manager, selecting the installation location, and submitting an application form to the local community service center in the housing area.

The recycling bin specifications are 1.2m wide × 0.35m deep × 0.72m high, and the items include four categories: vinyl, PET bottles and plastics, colorless PET bottles, and scrap metal, cans, and bottles. In particular, when receiving the recycling bin support, 200 pieces of 50L recycling collection vinyl bags are provided once initially.

The district has also produced a video to guide residents on the correct recycling separation and disposal methods and to address questions about recycling.

The video features a worker who has been working at the Jungnang Resource Recycling Sorting Center for over 10 years, explaining how to separate and dispose of items case by case. It shows how to dispose of leftover sauce containers, oil-stained plastic containers, milk cartons, and the process through which discarded recyclables are recycled, helping viewers realize the importance of recycling once again. The video can be viewed on the official Jungnang-gu Office YouTube channel.

Mayor Ryu Kyung-gi of Jungnang-gu said, “Unlike apartments, general residential areas lack separation disposal facilities, leading to improper recycling and frequent illegal dumping. We ask for residents’ interest to conserve energy and create a pleasant living environment for everyone.”
