Gwanak-gu Introduces Eco-Friendly Street Cleaning Machines to Improve Cleaning Efficiency and Enhance Working Conditions for Environmental Officers

Vacuum Suction Cleaning and Water Cleaning Without Noise and Dust... Enhancing Cleaning Efficiency in High Foot Traffic Areas and Improving Work Environment for Environmental Officers

An environmental officer in Gwanak-gu is cleaning the streets with an eco-friendly street sweeper.

“There were times when we were at a loss because pedestrians complained about dust generated from sweeping, but using the street sweeper has made street cleaning easier and greatly improved work efficiency.”

A Gwanak-gu environmental officer expressed satisfaction.

Gwanak-gu (Mayor Park Junhee) is accelerating efforts to improve the street environment in densely populated areas by introducing eco-friendly street sweepers to create a ‘Clean Living Space Gwanak.’

The newly introduced street sweeper operates with a rechargeable battery without carbon emissions. It produces no noise or dust even when vacuuming trash such as cigarette butts and flyers, and it also has a water cleaning function.

Additionally, it can absorb fine dust. The large filter inside the sweeper captures fine dust, making it very effective in removing fine dust, a chronic environmental problem in urban areas.

The district recently deployed and is operating one street sweeper each near Sinlim Station sidewalks and shopping districts, along Siheung-daero, and along Bongcheon-ro.

The district expects that the introduction of this street sweeper will be very effective not only in habitual illegal dumping areas such as cigarette butts and flyers but also on streets where fallen leaves accumulate heavily in winter.

In particular, it is expected to improve the working environment of environmental officers who have been exposed to a lot of dust and pollutants from sweeping during street environment maintenance.

Mayor Park Junhee said, “The introduction of eco-friendly street sweepers has positive effects both on improving the street environment for residents and on the working conditions of environmental officers,” adding, “We will continue to do our best to create a pleasant living space for residents through advanced cleaning administration.”
