Operation of Illegal Mobile Advertisement Collection Reward System in 2024, Recruiting 54 Residents for Participation from 15th to 19th
A Total of 3,385,944 Illegal Advertisements Cleaned This Year to Create a Pleasant and Clean Urban Landscape

Yangcheon-gu (District Mayor Lee Gi-jae) announced that it will operate the "2024 Illegal Mobile Advertising Collection Reward Program" to create a pleasant and clean street environment, recruiting 54 residents to participate starting from December 15.

The district has been operating a system since 2015 that rewards residents who collect illegal mobile advertisements within the area and submit them to the local community service center. For posters and harmful business cards, the reward is 2,000 to 5,000 KRW per 100 sheets, 2,000 KRW for general banners, and 1,000 KRW for scroll-type banners, with a monthly limit of 2 million KRW per person. However, the monthly limit for posters and similar items is capped at 500,000 KRW.

Eligible participants are residents aged 20 or older who can take photos with a digital camera that displays the date and time, and anyone who can use Hangul and word processing programs (for banner participants) can apply. However, residents currently participating in other projects are excluded from selection.

A total of 54 participants will be selected, three from each neighborhood. Those wishing to participate can apply in person at their local community service center from December 15 to December 19. Selected participants will receive training on ▲criteria for classifying illegal mobile advertisements ▲collection methods ▲safety rules, and then be issued a collector inspector ID to be deployed in the field.

As a result of this year's collection reward program, the district has cleaned up a total of 3,385,944 illegal advertisements as of last month. Among these, the largest number was posters, flyers, and similar items at 3,385,797 cases, while 147 banners were cleaned up.

Lee Gi-jae, Mayor of Yangcheon-gu, said, "We hope many residents interested in the Illegal Mobile Advertising Collection Reward Program, which has a great effect on spreading awareness of proper advertising culture and creating a pleasant urban environment, will participate actively."
