Banner 1000 Won · Flyer 50 Won

Daegu Buk-gu Office (Chief Bae Gwang-sik) is implementing the ‘2024 Illegal Advertisement Collection Reward Program’ to provide compensation to local residents who collect illegal advertisements amid the recent increase in such illegal floating advertisements.


Recently, illegal advertisements such as banners, posters, and flyers within Buk-gu, Daegu have been increasing explosively every year, and administrative efforts alone have reached their limit in managing them. This has led to the deterioration of urban aesthetics and an increased risk of various safety accidents.

Accordingly, Daegu Buk-gu Office is encouraging residents’ voluntary participation in cleanup activities by implementing the ‘Illegal Advertisement Collection Reward Program,’ which pays compensation according to set standards to residents who collect and submit illegal floating advertisements that are illegally posted or discarded throughout the district.


The advertisements eligible for collection under the reward program include banners and posters attached to utility poles, street trees, and street lamps within Buk-gu, as well as various flyers posted along roadsides.


Residents eligible to receive compensation for banners must be 19 years or older, living in Buk-gu, Daegu, and have obtained an illegal advertisement cleanup worker ID from their local administrative welfare center. For posters and flyers, eligible residents are those aged 60 or older living in Buk-gu and recipients of the National Basic Livelihood Security benefits.


The compensation amounts are as follows: for banners, 1,000 KRW per standard banner and 500 KRW per scroll-type banner, with a monthly limit of 300,000 KRW per person; for posters and flyers, 50 KRW per poster larger than A3 size, and 5 KRW per flyer or business card-sized advertisement, with a monthly limit of 100,000 KRW per person.


The application and payment procedure for the reward is that eligible residents bring the collected advertisements and their ID to their local administrative welfare center, where they submit their application. The compensation will be paid by the 10th of the following month.



A representative from Daegu Buk-gu Office stated, “The Illegal Advertisement Collection Reward Program is a project that can achieve both a clean urban environment and resident safety through voluntary participation by residents. We hope that all residents will actively participate.”
