How to Dispose
Search any household item by name or Korean initial consonants to see right away whether it belongs in recycling, general waste, food waste, bulky waste, or dedicated collection.
Key Features
- Name & Initial Search: Type a full item name or Korean initials (like 'ㅍㅌㅂ' for PET bottles), or browse by category chips.
- Step-by-Step Disposal Rules: Shows exact preparation steps—like rinsing, peeling labels, or flattening—and explains why certain items are commonly confused.
- Local Municipality Alerts: Flags items whose disposal rules vary by district so you know when to check your local ward office.
- 300+ Everyday Items: Covers over 300 common household items with built-in bookmarks and recent search history.
How to Use
- Type the item you want to throw away into the search bar.
- Tap the matching result to see its waste category and preparation steps.
- Check the municipality note if local rules apply in your district.
How It Works
Because bad disposal advice causes real confusion, every item is strictly audited. Humans define the item list and categories, and AI-drafted steps are cross-checked against Ministry of Environment recycling guidelines.
