Trash Removal - Official ^^


It took almost two years, but I finally found something (accidentally) that relates to trash and garbage removal.  I found this at the bus stop near Ansan Station.  It explains the different sorts of materials and when and how they are collected.

Throwing Away Big or Bulky Items in Korea

While one of our teachers was recently moving out, she had to throw away a dresser after discovering some mold on the back.  Since you can't really stuff something like that into a city-approved garbage bag, we had to ask a few questions.

Someone on our staff knew exactly what to do and told the teacher to hand this note to the ajumma at a small nearby convenience store:

"저는  ___(item name)______  을(를) 버리려고 해요."

(I am throwing away a _____(item) _____)

"폐기물 스티커 파시나요?"

 (Do you sell a trash sticker for it?)

"얼마예요?"

(How much does it cost?)

She got a sticker that resembled these samples.  Each city has a different design and different designs for each item as well.  She slapped it on, took it to the trash area, and it was promptly taken away.
