Starting November 15, 2024, Pyeongtaek City will introduce newly designed waste disposal bags. The updated bags will feature simplified text and pictograms to clearly indicate items that cannot be disposed of in each type of bag, making the system more accessible to everyone, including non-Korean speakers.
In this revision, the general and reusable (shopping) waste bags will change from white to green, while food waste bags will retain their current orange color. This change addresses previous confusion, where recyclable items placed in white bags were difficult to distinguish from regular waste disposal bags. The new color scheme is expected to improve the efficiency of waste sorting and recycling efforts throughout the city.
Residents can continue using the old waste disposal bags until the current stock is depleted. The new designs will be made available for purchase based on the supply schedules of each retailer. For further inquiries, residents can contact Pyeongtaek City’s Resource Circulation Division at 031-8024-3766.
