Gangbuk-gu, Temporary Suspension of Household Waste Collection from 25th to 29th This Month

Waste Disposal Allowed from 6 p.m. on the 29th

Gangbuk-gu, Seoul (Mayor Lee Soon-hee) announced on the 16th that the collection of household waste will be temporarily suspended during the Lunar New Year holiday period. This measure is due to the suspension of household waste acceptance at the Nowon Resource Recovery Facility and the metropolitan landfill during the same period.

Residents will not be able to dispose of household waste (general, food waste, recyclables) from midnight on the 25th to 6 p.m. on the 29th of this month. The Nowon Resource Recovery Facility will resume operations from the 30th, so residents can dispose of their waste after 6 p.m. on the 29th.

The district plans to conduct special cleaning during the Lunar New Year holiday to minimize inconvenience to residents caused by this measure and will operate a cleaning situation room to promptly handle household waste-related complaints even during the holiday period.

Additionally, environmental officers will work for three days during the holiday period, excluding Lunar New Year’s Day, to clean along main roads, and after the holiday, special cleaning will be conducted to help residents quickly return to their daily routines.

The district will also strengthen publicity activities regarding the temporary suspension of household waste collection during the Lunar New Year holiday. Detailed information will be provided through Gangbuk-gu newsletters, the official website, blogs, and social networking services (SNS), and residents will receive notifications via text messages.

Mayor Lee Soon-hee said, “We ask for the understanding and active cooperation of all residents regarding the temporary suspension of household waste collection to ensure a pleasant Lunar New Year holiday.”
