Jeju province is providing a free-of-charge disposal service for large-scale households items. The service is available by telephone, online or SNS.
The free pick-up service for households intends to to limit the amount of waste and appliance discharge at official disposal sites.
Residents can apply by phone (1599-0903), Internet (www.15990903.or.kr), or SNS (Kakao Talk: ID:weec). Someone will then visit your home to pick up the item/s.
Items for collection include fridges, washing machines, air-conditioning units, TVs and other electrical appliances of more than 1 meter. Smaller items such as rice cookers can also be collected at the same time, but not alone.
The province is looking to increase the re-use of such electrical items to improve recycling rates and to lessen land contamination and spillage associated with waste electrical items.
The one-stop service is also intended to lessen the burden on families of transporting items to waste disposal sites, and should save 74 million won in associated costs. |
