Clothing collection bin recently developed by Suwon City

The city of Suwon in Gyeonggi Province will refurbish clothing collection bins by the end of this year.

On the 13th, Suwon City announced that it signed a business agreement with the Suwon City Clothing Recycling Association at City Hall on the 12th to maintain a total of 2,146 clothing collection bins, including 517 in Jangan-gu, 968 in Gwonseon-gu, 334 in Paldal-gu, and 327 in Yeongtong-gu, by December.

According to the agreement, Suwon City and the Suwon City Clothing Recycling Association will carry out various maintenance activities such as ▲obtaining road occupancy permits for clothing collection bins that meet installation standards ▲selecting managers and updating management logs to systematize the management and operation of clothing collection bins ▲creating manuals for clothing collection bin management (cleanliness obligations, prompt response to civil complaints, collection cycles) ▲and providing clothing collection bins applying the new standard design.

Additionally, abandoned or damaged clothing collection bins will be voluntarily removed or replaced with bins applying the new standard design for maintenance, and bins located in places that cause inconvenience to pedestrian traffic or parking will be removed following administrative procedures.

Suwon City designed the clothing collection bin called ‘Iriotneora,’ developed last year, using the character of King Jeongjo to make it more familiar to citizens.

Suwon City plans to replace 100% of the clothing collection bins with those applying the standard design in the future. The appropriate number of clothing collection bins will also be maintained between 1,500 and 2,000.

A Suwon City official said, "Through this comprehensive maintenance, we expect to improve the city image by removing or replacing clothing collection bins that caused inconvenience complaints from Suwon citizens, and reduce citizens' discomfort. We will continue the mutual cooperation system and activate communication to create a clean Suwon City."
