Rubbish in Korea
|
|
No one here knows what a rubbish bin is, it's a very New Zealand term, it's a 'trash can' from now on, and while we're on the topic, you need to know what you can do with it. Each individual area (they are called a Gu , explanation of Korean addresses) has their own rubbish system, although the only difference should be the color of the rubbish bags. You must purchase these bags from the local supermarket or convenience store - they will be obvious and should be the only rubbish bags available. They are reasonably expensive because their cost includes their collection also. You have to put your rubbish in these bags if you want to get rid of it - never put rubbish out in supermarket or shopping bags. Where you put your bags should be reasonably obvious also as you will see either skips with these bags in them or piles on the street waiting for collection. You just need to put your waste into the required bag and then put it where you see group gatherings of these bags. Recycling bins should also be in the nearby vicinity, and are usually found beside rubbish skips. In Korea you can recycle paper/newspapers, plastic, glass and cans easily.
