Gwangsan-gu, Gwangju Hosts 'Resource Circulation Festival'

Gwangsan-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City, will hold a Resource Circulation Festival at Suwan Lake Park on the 11th from 12:30 PM to 4:00 PM.

The first part of the event includes a resource circulation performance report meeting, the award ceremony for this year’s Best Recycling Champions, and a donation ceremony.

In the second part, cultural events and resource circulation experiences will be held, including a bubble show, O·X quiz, junk art using waste materials, and balloon art, all enjoyable for participating families.

This year’s Best Recycling Champions are three citizens who have exemplary practices in separating and disposing of used batteries and paper packs. They will receive the Gwangsan-gu Mayor’s Award along with collection reward points.

The Gwangju Metropolitan City Resource Recycling Association plans to deliver donations to the Together Gwangsan Sharing Culture Foundation.

There will also be a report session on resource circulation achievements, including the citizen challenge group activities to reduce waste promoted by Gwangsan-gu this year and the resource circulation interpreter education activities.

The resource circulation experience will operate 12 booths, including making sandwiches, animal-shaped cup bread, solar-powered helicopters, coffee grounds character keyrings, and personalized bags made from jeans.

There will also be a flea market where Gwangsan-gu children can sell and exchange secondhand goods, and a “jupging” activity, which involves walking around Suwan Lake Park area while picking up trash. Jupging is open to all citizens, and participants will be credited with volunteer hours.

If you make a reservation in advance and experience recycling separation, you can receive a reusable cup exclusive bag (tumbler bag). Generous gifts are also prepared for those who answer the O·X quiz correctly.

A Gwangsan-gu official said, “This year’s Resource Circulation Festival offers richer and more enjoyable experience events,” and added, “We hope many citizens will visit with their families and friends.”
