I finally decided to throw away the blender, which was a nuisance. In the case of small appliances, I was told that there might be a collection box at the community center, so I went to the community center after work and there was no such thing… I should have kept asking the community center, but I just forgot. Still, I had a vacation to use before April ended, so I used my vacation and called the community service center in the morning. 소형 폐가전 수거함 위치
Obviously, I called after business hours, but… How come you never answered the phone… I tried calling 3 times until the call cut off at 5-minute intervals, but no one answered. Hmm… why are you so busy? Funny enough, the window was empty….. Heh heh heh. So, I told the window clerk that it is possible to dispose of small appliances at the community center, so he gave me a note with the phone number of a large waste collection company. When I say it’s a small appliance, he keeps on saying he doesn’t know as if he’s telling me to call here…;; This is why public servants get scolded…
Fortunately, the male employee sitting in the back relayed the correct information again. Of course, in the case of apartments with large management offices, the quickest way is to inquire at the management office. Well, there is a management center where I live, but… Anyway, if you have a situation where you need to handle it yourself, let’s follow the method below. 1분전
1. Apply through the free home collection site (https://www.15990903.or.kr/portal/main/main.do)
You can also apply over the phone, but I think the internet is more convenient.
Fill in the basic customer information below.
Then you can choose which household appliances you can throw away.
It’s a pity, but if it’s not a large waste appliance, you have to have 5 or more to be collected.
Products that can be collected even if there is only one are refrigerators, washing machines, air conditioners, TVs, and others.
Other targets are as follows.
Other small appliances can be collected only when there are 5 or more.
If you go to the small category, there are so many different products that you can handle most of them.
2. In the case of less than 5 small waste home appliances, use Seongbuk-gu free home appliance treatment discharge (02-2241-4416)
Unfortunately, it did not apply to case 1, so I contacted the department in charge of free disposal of household appliances at Seongbuk-gu Office. Fortunately, he answered the phone right away and was so kind to arrange a treatment plan. This feeling of being relieved of the stress I received at the community center..ㅋ
In addition, the collection vehicle was passing near my house, so I was able to hand over the home appliances to the collection vehicle that day and finish the disposal neatly!! For reference, an excerpt from the Seongbuk-gu Office website is attached.
3. Closing
If you think about it, I expected that the community service center would provide convenience more easily because it is an institution closer to our lives than the ward office and is in charge of a more peripheral area. However, today’s incident completely shattered such expectations. Well, while living abroad, I met a lot of administrative staff who really hit me hard, so Korea is at a really good level, but at least it would have been nice if someone answered the phone and responded.
In any case, if you have any questions about the disposal of household appliances in the future, it would be a good idea to use the homepage of the local ward office where you live. Don’t waste your time calling the community center.
