3 Ways to Dispose
? RFID Machine
RFID Machine is a food disposal machine where you can dispose your food waste. Sounding somewhat intimidating, RFID refers to Radio Frequency Identification. It wirelessly sends your information and amount you dispose to a registered system. The most appealing part of this is that you pay for exactly for how much you disposed. Moreover, the amount of disposal has dropped by 30% after the introduction of the machine.
Since Korea introduced it in 2011, about 2,400 machines has been distributed mainly to apartment complexes. About 190,000 people take advantage of this most advanced food disposal machine.
?How: Have your smart key read by machine and throw away your food waste!
*Food only. No plastic bag.
?For who? People living in apartment complexes

If you don�t live in an apartment with RFID, you need to throw away in a waste bin. Some apartments have communal waste bin where you can throw away your food waste and pay for fixedmonthly fee to your apartment.
Otherwise, you need to purchase your own food waste bin. Make sure you attach a approvedsticker when you take it to entrance. Then, person in charge will take the waste and leave the bin so you can pick it up to use it again with another new sticker. Without the sticker, they don�t take your food waste!
?How
For those who live in apartment: Communal waste bin
Others: personal waste bin
?Where to take the bin out: entrance of building
?Where to buy approved stickers and bins: Marts, supermarkets, convenience stores
*Bins under 5L capacity is most used in household.
*For bins, not many stores sell officially approved waste bins. Luckily, stores like DAISO sell food waste bins that are not official but accepted. Make sure you buy a bin that has standardized sizes accepted by a specific district. For example, Dong-gu does not accept 5L bins.
* Bins over 6 L capacity must be officially approved ones.
?Prices for stickers: 3L ? 120won, 5L ? 200won, 20L ? 810won, 120L ? 4,880won
