Temporary Suspension of Garbage Collection from August 3 to 5, Garbage Disposal Allowed from 6 PM on August 6

Emergency Situation Room Operated During Suspension Period for Urgent Garbage Collection and Handling of Inconvenience Complaints

Geumcheon-gu (District Mayor Yu Seong-hoon) announced that household garbage collection will be temporarily suspended for three days from August 3 to 5.

The temporary suspension of household garbage collection is to allow sanitation workers of the cleaning contractor to comfortably take their summer vacation without the burden of cleaning duties.

Residents can dispose of household garbage starting from 6 PM on August 6, after the sanitation workers’ vacation period.

To minimize inconvenience to residents caused by the temporary suspension of garbage collection, an emergency situation room will be operated.

Geumcheon-gu has posted banners on main roads and residential areas to inform about the suspension of household garbage collection. Various media are being actively used to inform residents, including distributing promotional leaflets through community centers and the cleaning contractor.

Since 2017, Geumcheon-gu has implemented a full summer vacation system for sanitation workers.

Yu Seong-hoon, Mayor of Geumcheon-gu, said, “We ask for residents’ cooperation despite the temporary inconvenience, so that the sanitation workers of the cleaning contractor can recharge and regain vitality to do their best in garbage collection duties.”
