The activities involved Hwaseong City Dongtan Branch Office, as well as cleaning contractors for household waste in the Dongtan area, including Hwaseong Co., Clean City Hwaseong Co., Nanum Environment Co., and Hyangwon Industrial Co.

The city plans to install mobile CCTVs at habitual illegal dumping sites and deploy patrol officers for continuous monitoring and enforcement.
