Recycling garbage

When you live in Korea on a permanant base, you should know about
the garbage recycling system. If you live in a house or an apartment, you had better check the way how to dispose garbage in the area.

You have to gather food residue in a designated container separately
from other trash and garbage. Then you dump it in the bigger container
placed at the trash point around your place usually during the night.

You have to gather and store other items such as bottles, cans, papers, boxes, clothes and metals in your house and you have to recycle them once a week by disposing them in the divided boxes or containers. So you have to check which day is the recycling day in your area. Failing to do this means another week of ' sleeping with garbages'.

Other undefinable general garbages must be sealed in a plastic bag sold by the local government. The bags are only available in your local districs. They are expensive because tax for garbage-disposal is included.

You may be fined because of improper dumping of trash and garbage. So when you live in Korea learn how to throw garbage first!
