Up to 300,000 Won in Fines: Watch Out for Chuseok Holiday Trash Disposal

After receiving Chuseok holiday gifts, you probably end up with a lot of delivery boxes.

It is good to know that discarding them without removing tape and shipping labels can result in fines.

The rule for paper delivery boxes is to remove the tape and shipping labels, flatten them, and then dispose of them.

You should also know that fruit packaging nets and non-woven bags must be disposed of in standard waste bags.

A special management plan for household waste is in effect until the 30th, and repeatedly violating the separate disposal rules can result in fines of up to 300,000 won.

Also, depending on the region, there are days during the Chuseok holiday when you cannot put out the trash.

Therefore, you should check the disposal schedule for your residential area in advance.
