This year's Chuseok holiday will last for seven days, from October 3 to October 9, spanning from National Foundation Day to Hangul Day. Taking into account the holidays of contracted service providers, the county will collect household waste as usual on October 4, 5, and 8. Residents may dispose of waste from sunset the day before collection until 4 a.m. on the day of collection. Exceptions apply when using storage facilities or designated containers.


Additionally, the county will operate a special response team during the holiday period to promptly handle complaints related to waste disposal and collection, aiming to minimize inconvenience for residents.



A Gapyeong County official stated, "We will strictly manage the waste collection schedule so that families can enjoy Chuseok together without inconvenience caused by waste issues," and urged, "Please check the collection dates at home and actively participate in separating recyclables and reducing food waste."
