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.
