Through this management plan, the city will focus on adjusting the household waste collection schedule, operating a mobile response team, and inspecting areas that are often overlooked in cleaning. The cleaning task force situation room will be operated in cooperation with the Resource Circulation Division, Uijeongbu Urban Corporation, and five cleaning service companies.

During the holiday period, household waste (including food waste and recyclables) will be collected on October 4, 7, and 9. In traditional market areas, waste will be collected daily to minimize inconvenience for citizens. In addition, a mobile response team will be organized to intensively inspect areas with frequent illegal dumping and cleaning blind spots. A total of 941 cleaning personnel and 280 pieces of equipment will be deployed to support the smooth collection and disposal of household waste.

Mayor Kim Donggeun stated, "We will do our utmost to ensure that citizens do not experience inconvenience due to household waste during the Chuseok holiday," and added, "I hope that all citizens will join us in making Uijeongbu a more pleasant city through small actions such as proper waste separation and disposal."
