How to Separate and Dispose of Household Garbage Correctly

☆ Garbage is not collected on Sundays, national holidays and transfer holidays.
Do not put garbage out on these days. Please, wait until the next appointed
day.
☆ Some households that border other districts might use that district’s collection
days.
☆ Let’s take charge of managing our garbage disposal area and
keep it clean.
