Jongno District in Seoul, South Korea will begin distributing illustrated recycling guides in Korean, English, and Chinese on October 26.
The guides aim to help the district’s growing foreign population, currently nearing 15,000 residents, properly sort waste and avoid illegal dumping. Local officials noticed language difficulties and complicated recycling schedules led to mistakes in waste disposal. Environmental and resource circulation experts reviewed the guides to ensure accuracy.
The district also had native speakers and translation agencies check the English and Chinese versions to confirm clarity. These materials will provide newcomers with a simple way to understand local waste regulations.
