The Ansan City Corporation initiated an environmental cleanup on September 14 in the 63 Block area of Singil-dong, which has not seen development for an extended period.
According to the corporation, over 30 employees participated in the cleanup activities at 63 Block, located near 1379 Singil-dong in Danwon District.
This initiative aimed to reduce inconveniences for residents caused by household waste and illegal dumping from the long-abandoned site, while also improving the surrounding environment.
The participating employees collected household waste, various debris, and fallen leaves over approximately three hours, amounting to the equivalent of two 1.5-ton trucks of waste.
The corporation plans to continue regular environmental cleanup activities, rather than treating this as a one-time effort.
In March, they addressed waste left over from winter, and in June, they focused on collecting weeds and household trash. Another cleanup is scheduled for November in preparation for the winter season.
The corporation also conducts regular monitoring of vehicles that have been abandoned on the site, taking necessary actions in accordance with relevant laws.
The corporation aims to prevent illegal dumping and reduce inconveniences for residents through regular site maintenance, while also continuing community environmental improvement activities involving employees.
One resident expressed relief, stating, "Since this area has not been developed for a long time, I was worried about its maintenance. Seeing the cleanup efforts gives me peace of mind. I hope other residents will also take care not to litter."
Meanwhile, Acting President Kim Cheol-yeon remarked, "Our employees directly participated in the cleanup to help alleviate the inconveniences felt by residents."
He added, "We will continue our efforts for environmental improvement that residents can feel through ongoing maintenance."
