[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Jin-hyung] Dongmyeong-dong, Dong-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City announced on the 12th that it conducted 'Proper Waste Separation Education' by visiting about 70 places such as restaurants and cafes with high waste output in the area from the 6th to the 8th.

During the three-day education, employees of the Dongmyeong-dong Administrative Welfare Center and neighborhood association leaders formed teams of three and conducted education at about 70 places including restaurants and cafes, encouraging active practice of ▲proper disposal of designated waste bags ▲placing separated waste in front of the store door ▲removing foreign substances from plastics before disposal.
