Selected as the Best Practice in the Autonomous District Category: ‘Gwangjin-gu Weekly 6-Day Household Waste Collection System’... The Only One Among Autonomous Districts
Recognized for Actively Contributing to Resolving Residents' Inconveniences through Weekly 6-Day Collection and Improved Recycling Collection System
Also Received the Highest Votes Among 12 Model Cases in the Autonomous Districts in Last Month's Citizen Vote
Gwangjin-gu (Mayor Kim Kyung-ho)'s "Weekly 6-Day Household Waste Collection System" project was selected as the Best Practice in the autonomous district category in Seoul City's "2024 Second Half Active Administration Best Practice Selection."
Gwangjin-gu is the only autonomous district selected as the best active administration case in the second half of this year.
The city selects best practices in active administration every year targeting city and headquarters offices, autonomous districts, and local public institutions to spread the culture of active administration and discover and disseminate excellent cases.
This year's second half evaluation selected one best case, two excellent cases, and four encouragement cases (three for public works and public corporations) based on five indicators: ▲ citizen perception ▲ proactiveness ▲ importance and difficulty ▲ dissemination and sustainability ▲ creativity and expertise, through document review and citizen voting.
To resolve residents' inconvenience caused by the previous thrice-weekly collection, Gwangjin-gu introduced the weekly 6-day household waste collection system starting January this year. Additionally, the recycling collection system, which was divided into direct management (6 neighborhoods) and contracted companies (9 neighborhoods), was unified and collection routes were efficiently improved.
As a result, confusion among residents caused by different collection days in each neighborhood significantly decreased, and the innovative collection system was recognized for contributing to the creation of a clean urban environment, leading to its selection as the best active administration case in the second half of this year.
In particular, Gwangjin-gu's "Weekly 6-Day Household Waste Collection System" project recorded the highest number of votes among 12 exemplary cases from autonomous districts in the Seoul City M-voting citizen poll conducted last month, proving the high satisfaction of Gwangjin-gu residents with the project.
Kim Kyung-ho, Mayor of Gwangjin-gu, said, "This selection as the best active administration case by Seoul City is the result of Gwangjin-gu's continuous efforts to resolve residents' inconveniences and the active cooperation of all Gwangjin-gu residents." He added, "Going forward, Gwangjin-gu will actively discover and improve life-centered projects that residents can feel based on communication."
