Eunpyeong-gu (Mayor Kim Mi-kyung) announced that it will hold the Eunpyeong Residents Sharing Market at Eunpyeong Peace Park on the 24th at 1 PM.

The Sharing Market is a place where residents can exchange and sell used goods to prevent resource waste and protect the environment. It has been held annually for this purpose. It was not held from 2020 to 2022 due to COVID-19, and this year, the market will be held every fourth Saturday from April to October, excluding the heatwave months of July and August.

This June event will take place at Eunpyeong Peace Park in front of Exit 4 of Yeokchon Station from 1 to 5 PM. Any Eunpyeong resident can participate, and those who wish to sell can register on-site on a first-come, first-served basis on the day of the event. Sellers must bring their own mats, hangers, and other items needed for selling, as these will not be provided.

From 3 PM on the day, a “Milk Carton and Used Battery” exchange event will be held. Bringing 20 milk cartons will allow exchange for 1 roll of toilet paper, and bringing 20 used batteries will allow exchange for 1 new battery.

In addition, various booths will operate campaigns such as reducing disposable product use to promote resource recycling among residents.

Ten percent of the proceeds from used goods sales will be donated voluntarily by residents to help neighbors in need. In line with the event’s purpose, disposable products cannot be used at the venue, and participants must clean up any leftover items and trash after the event.

Kim Mi-kyung, Mayor of Eunpyeong-gu, said, “Through this Sharing Market, we can reduce unnecessary resource waste and obtain necessary items at affordable prices. We ask all residents to actively participate in resource recycling for the sake of our beautiful planet.”
