What is the free home appliance collection service? 좋은뉴스
The Ministry of Environment, electronics manufacturers, and local governments came together to create the Korea Electronics Resources Purification Mutual Aid Association.
The main service provided by the cooperative is the “waste home appliance collection” service.
The government and the private sector lead the collection of waste home appliances and promote recycling.
It plays a big role in the virtuous cycle of resources, with the recycling rate of collected products reaching 90%.
From the point of view of the general public, it is better to apply unconditionally if applicable because it can save the cost of collecting waste home appliances and has the effect of protecting the environment.
