Suwon City Distributes 1,000 Food Waste Volume-Based Bag Storage Containers to Residential Areas

[Asia Economy (Suwon) = Reporter Lee Young-gyu] Suwon City in Gyeonggi Province will distribute 1,000 containers for storing volume-based waste bags containing food waste to residential areas.

On the 1st, Suwon City announced that it will carry out the "Food Waste Volume-Based Waste Bag Storage Container Distribution Project" by the end of next month, distributing storage containers to residential areas densely populated with detached houses and multi-family houses.

The storage containers distributed by the city are made by recycling waste vinyl and have a capacity of 25 liters. Last year, 380 containers were distributed as a pilot project and received positive evaluations from residents.

Residents of detached and multi-family houses can apply for and receive storage containers at the local administrative welfare centers. Residents can place volume-based waste bags containing food waste into the storage containers.

The city plans to designate managers when distributing the volume-based waste bag storage containers and regularly check whether the containers are being properly managed.

A city official explained, "In residential areas, volume-based food waste bags were often left outside until collection, and stray cats frequently damaged the bags. Through this distribution project, we expect to solve the ongoing problem of damage to food waste volume-based bags in residential areas and ensure stable collection of the bags."
