Until now, the city has focused on managing habitual dumping areas such as Nam-myeon and Eunhyeon-myeon, but faced limitations due to a shortage of personnel. To address this, the city hired dedicated monitoring staff in February 2026 to reinforce its response system.

As a result of intensified management in vulnerable areas, the city has issued approximately 50 guidance notices and imposed administrative fines in over 10 cases. In addition to enforcement, Yangju City is also providing residents with information on proper waste disposal methods.

Yangju City plans to continue monitoring areas where illegal dumping occurs and will maintain management of locations where repeated dumping takes place.

An official from Yangju City stated, "The deployment of monitoring personnel has improved on-site response conditions," adding, "We will continue to maintain our management system by combining enforcement and guidance."
