Yeosu City Expands Operation of 'Nanum Happiness' Resource Recycling Stores

Expanded to 9 Locations, Free Collection of Small Waste Electronics

Yeosu City, Jeollanam-do (Mayor Jeong Gi-myeong) announced that from September 1, the 'Nanum Happiness' mobile resource recycling stores will be expanded from 7 locations to 9 locations.

The Yeosu 'Nanum Happiness' mobile resource recycling store system rewards citizens with points based on the weight of cleanly separated recyclable materials they bring, and when they accumulate more than 5,000 points, they can redeem them for cash.

For citizens' convenience, the city will expand the operation by adding two locations, ▲Mipyeong Park and ▲Migwan Plaza, to the existing seven locations (Yeosu City Hall, Expo Hillstate 1st Complex Plaza, Seongsan Park, Chadong Park, Geobukseon Park, Gukdong Temporary Annex, Marine Park).

The resource recycling stores operate five days a week, Monday through Friday, with opening hours from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. and 2 p.m. to 4 p.m.

Additionally, small waste home appliances can be disposed of free of charge at the resource recycling stores without any collection fees.

As a result, since free pickup is only available when disposing of five or more small waste home appliances at the same time, it is expected to alleviate some citizen inconveniences such as the burden of waste sticker fees.

A city official said, "We are making efforts to enhance citizen convenience by expanding the operation of resource recycling stores and collecting small waste home appliances, and we ask for active interest and participation from all citizens."
