We would like to inform you about the free collection of waste home appliances. The free collection service for large-sized waste home appliances is a service in which, without a discharge fee, even if you do not transport the waste to a designated place through reservation, the person who collects it directly visits your home and collects heavy, difficult-to-carry waste home appliances.
service promotion background
In the past, if you purchased a new home appliance and did not immediately discharge the waste product, you had to hand it over to waste collectors for a fee or free of charge, or pay a discharge fee to the local government, and transport it to the discharge site yourself.
However, one regrettable thing was that most of the waste home appliance collectors and disposal companies are causing environmental pollution by disposing of home appliances without proper facilities.
For example, the refrigerant in the refrigerator must be properly packaged to cause the greenhouse effect, but if the cooler is removed, the refrigerant, oil, and heavy metals flow indiscriminately into the air, soil, and rivers without filtering.
In response, the Ministry of Environment, local governments, and home appliance producers have implemented ‘free home appliance collection and on-site service’ to help people dispose of waste and to properly dispose of them in an eco-friendly manner.
In June 2012, the city of Seoul implemented a pilot project in 6 autonomous districts, and thanks to the explosive response, the project was expanded to all 25 districts in September 2012. These successful cases in Seoul served as an opportunity to expand the implementation nationwide.
