"Please only insert transparent PET bottles."

"To prevent frequent malfunctions, please use the unmanned collection machines slowly."

Dongdaemun-gu (Mayor Lee Pil-hyung) is promoting the correct usage of the 'Transparent PET Bottle Unmanned Collection Machines,' which have been in operation since the 7th, to residents in order to smoothly secure high-quality recyclable resources.

The 'Transparent PET Bottle Unmanned Collection Machines,' installed at four locations including the District Office building, Dongdaemun Comprehensive Social Welfare Center, Imun Sports and Culture Center, and Dongdaemun-gu Citizens Sports Center (one machine each), shred the inserted PET bottles into thin plastic pieces that are reborn as high-quality raw materials used to make bags and clothing.

Only transparent PET bottles should be inserted into the unmanned collection machines. If other materials such as caps, labels, take-out cups, or transparent egg cases are mixed in, additional costs will be incurred during the sorting process that separates mixed items from pure transparent PET bottles. Therefore, strict adherence to the usage guidelines by users is required.

Additionally, users need to insert transparent PET bottles into the unmanned collection machines one at a time and slowly. After confirming the 'Shredding Complete' indicator on the screen, the next bottle should be inserted to prevent frequent malfunctions of the machine.

Song Young-cheol, Head of the Cleaning Administration Division of Dongdaemun-gu, said, "Usage instructions and precautions are posted in the center of the machine, so we kindly ask everyone to follow the usage guidelines to ensure smooth resource recycling."
