Gwangju City is implementing a "city cleanliness plan" to ensure that citizens can enjoy a pleasant Lunar New Year holiday.

According to the city on the 22nd, a large-scale city cleaning campaign will be carried out until the 24th, focusing on multi-use facilities with high foot traffic and areas vulnerable to litter. Ordinary citizens, civic groups, and public officials will participate in the effort.

The city also plans to promote proper waste separation methods for recyclable waste, such as packaging materials from holiday gift sets, as well as the holiday waste collection schedule in advance. To prevent any cleaning gaps during the long holiday, the city will operate a comprehensive situation room and assign special cleaning crews in each district to minimize inconvenience for citizens. Household waste will be collected on the 25th and from the 27th to the 28th during the holiday, but not on the 26th and from the 29th to the 30th.

Additionally, waste treatment facilities such as food waste recycling plants, regional sanitary landfills, and combustible waste fuel facilities will operate with designated holiday crews to ensure smooth waste processing during the break.

Jung Mikyung, head of the Resource Circulation Division, stated, "We will do our utmost to manage the city cleanliness plan so that citizens can enjoy a clean and pleasant Lunar New Year holiday."
