Useful household waste resources refer to recyclable waste, such as used batteries, paper packs, and transparent PET bottles. Suwon City has been expanding 'resource circulation practices in daily life' by operating projects that collect and exchange such useful household waste resources.


Suwon City plans to establish a system that connects discharge and collection, centered on alleyway-type shopping districts, and to gradually expand a resource circulation model that involves both local businesses and the community.



A Suwon City official stated, "With this agreement, we expect to reduce household waste within commercial districts and increase the collection rate of high-quality recyclable resources. We will continue our efforts to create a resource-circulating, carbon-neutral green city."
