Andong City Moving Towards a Clean City.

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Gwi-yeol] Andong City, Gyeongbuk Province, is transforming into a clean city under the slogan of "Clean City" since the 8th term of the local government.

The city is focusing all administrative efforts on creating a clean urban environment before welcoming guests, aiming to leap forward as a global tourism hub city and an international convention center city.

They are promptly removing agricultural waste in rural areas, illegal banners in the downtown area, and roadside accumulations, while frequently managing public restrooms and clean houses to strip away the accumulated grime throughout the city and become spotless again.

The city is accelerating the maintenance of clean houses, which have many complaints due to chronic odors and uncleanliness.

Andong, a city where people want to stay and revisit, is creating a 'Clean City'.

Among them, urgent floor repairs have been initiated for clean houses that require focused management because they are used by a large number of unspecified people such as merchants and street vendors visiting traditional markets.

The city is also swiftly addressing agricultural waste issues that have been continuously raised in rural areas. They are establishing a collection system for waste pesticides and installing waste vinyl collection centers along with CCTV. To ensure prompt disposal of agricultural waste, they plan to operate agricultural waste collection teams.

Mayor Kwon Ki-chang of Andong said, "We will strive to transform every corner of the city into a clean and sanitary environment to create a healthy living environment for citizens," and emphasized, "Above all, creating a 'Clean City' is an urgent prerequisite for advancing as a world-class tourist city and an international convention city. We will do our best to make Andong a city where people want to stay and visit again."
