Following the revision of the Enforcement Rules of the Waste Management Act, which prohibits direct landfill of municipal waste starting in 2030, Jinju City has been promoting the municipal waste incineration facility installation project since March last year. In March of this year, through a feasibility study and basic plan establishment service, the landfill site located in Naedong-myeon was selected as the first candidate site, and this briefing session was held for residents around the landfill.

On the day, the city explained the site selection procedures, incineration facility installation plans, incineration flue gas treatment processes, and resident support benefits to the residents, and also held a Q&A session to address residents' questions.

The city plans to install convenience facilities such as a golf practice range, jjimjilbang, sauna, and water play facilities after forming a residents' support council for the incineration facility once the site is decided by the site selection committee.

Additionally, the city plans to continuously hold residents' briefing sessions and other events to communicate with residents and gather their opinions to promote the project.

A city official stated, “We are doing our best to install the incineration facility within the deadline set by the Waste Management Act, and for this, residents' cooperation such as recommending resident members for the site selection committee is necessary,” adding, “We will continue to strive to communicate with residents.”
