Seoul's Seodaemun District has installed dedicated collection bins for small and medium-sized waste electronics at community centers and apartment complexes to reduce household waste and promote resource recycling.
Residents can dispose of various small electronic products including humidifiers, electric rice cookers, fans, monitors, microwaves, and printers without prior registration, fees, or quantity limits.
Detailed installation locations are available on the Seodaemun District Office website under public notices.
Gas ranges and gas ovens, which are not classified as electronic products, require waste disposal registration. Large appliances such as refrigerators and washing machines must be scheduled for free home pickup before disposal.
"Operating free collection bins for small and medium-sized waste electronics is a resource recycling initiative under Seoul City's 'Household Waste Diet' policy," said Seodaemun District Mayor Lee Sung-hun. "We will continue to expand waste reduction policies that make it easy for residents to participate in their daily lives."
