Seongnam-si to Collect and Recycle Waste Banners Disposed in Neighborhoods

Seongnam City Hall

Seongnam City in Gyeonggi Province has installed collection bins for discarded banners at 50 district administrative welfare centers to increase the recycling rate of banner fabric.

Seongnam City stated on the 7th that although most illegal banners and banners on designated posting boards are recycled into environmental maintenance sacks after removal, the banners disposed of by each district are not numerous and lack clear management, so most are discarded. To recycle these, additional collection bins have been installed in each district.

With this, Seongnam City has become the first model city in the nation to fully recycle discarded banners as part of its resource circulation efforts.

The amount of discarded banners recycled into environmental maintenance sacks in Seongnam City is about 350,000 sheets annually.

These are used for public waste collection around the Tancheon area and parks. If the target is expanded to include household waste collection in each district, there is actually a shortage of discarded banners.

By collecting all discarded banners generated in the districts this time, between approximately 3,000 and up to 6,000 discarded banners annually will be reborn as recycled sacks instead of being incinerated.

A Seongnam City official explained, "By installing discarded banner collection bins at administrative welfare centers this time, we have established a perfect system to collect all discarded banners generated in Seongnam City."
