As concerns have been raised about potential supply disruptions of volume-based waste bags in some areas due to the prolonged situation in the Middle East, Mayor Mingeun Lee visited the volume-based waste bag sales office of Ansan Urban Corporation on the 25th to check the supply status.


The city explained that, according to its advance procurement plans, the production and supply of volume-based waste bags are being maintained in a stable manner and that the overall supply process has been confirmed to be operating without issues.


However, as some citizens have recently engaged in excessive bulk purchases, the city requested that residents refrain from overbuying due to temporary anxiety and purchase only what they normally use. In addition, Ansan City announced it will continuously monitor the supply situation and maintain a management system that can respond quickly to any future changes.


The city also emphasized the importance of reducing household waste in light of the current situation. It explained that making waste separation a part of daily life is the most fundamental solution to reducing the use of volume-based waste bags.


At home, it is more important than ever to practice thorough separation of general waste and recyclables, reduce the use of disposable products, and minimize food waste.



Mayor Mingeun Lee reiterated, "We are doing our utmost to manage the supply of volume-based waste bags so that citizens do not experience any inconvenience, even if the Middle East crisis is prolonged. We kindly request that citizens purchase only as many waste bags as they usually need."
