Yangpyeong County Installs Wireless Recognition (RFID) Food Waste Meters in Apartment Complexes

Yangpyeong County Implements Wireless Recognition Food Waste Meters
Installed at Two Apartment Complexes for Smart Resource Circulation

This installation project aims to realize the principle of "pay-as-you-throw," focusing on apartment complexes with high volumes of food waste. Specifically, six units were installed at The Sharp Yangpyeong River Foret Apartments and five units at Yongmun Smoobill Apartments, totaling two complexes.

Through this initiative, residents can directly check the amount of food waste they dispose of, which is expected to encourage voluntary reduction. As the amount of waste decreases, the associated fees will also be reduced, leading to a fairer fee system.

In addition, the meters are equipped with automatic opening and closing lids and odor removal devices, improving hygiene and aesthetics. Residents can also dispose of food waste at any time without the need for pay-as-you-throw bags, greatly enhancing convenience.

Jeon Jinseon, Governor of Yangpyeong County, stated, "The wireless recognition (RFID) food waste meter is a core foundation for data-driven resource circulation administration. We expect positive effects such as reduced waste generation and lower processing costs through this installation. Moving forward, we will continue to develop various policies to promote food waste reduction and work with residents to create a clean and attractive Yangpyeong."

Meanwhile, since 2023, Yangpyeong County has installed a total of 75 wireless recognition (RFID) food waste meters across 12 apartment complexes within the county, and plans to continue expanding the installation of these meters in the future.
