Cheongsong-gun, Gyeongbuk Province, has recently been continuously promoting guidance and crackdown on environmental pollution activities within the jurisdiction, as well as proper disposal of household (farming) waste. However, complaints about waste incineration, which mainly occurs during the autumn harvest season and winter, have frequently arisen, prompting plans to strengthen intensive crackdowns on illegal waste incineration (dumping).

Cheongsong-gun is strengthening intensive crackdowns on illegal waste incineration (dumping).

The focus will be on checking the actual status of household and farming waste discharge (disposal) and inspecting whether illegal waste incineration (dumping) occurs in vulnerable areas within the jurisdiction. If violations are detected, strict penalties will be imposed, including fines or prosecution in accordance with relevant laws.

Governor Yoon Kyung-hee urged, “To prevent illegal waste incineration (dumping) in advance, residents and business owners in the area should properly dispose of household and farming waste to promote environmentally friendly processing, actively participating in the creation of a sustainable national land environment and the Oxygen Cafe Cheongsong.”
