Denied Garbage

I observed that garbage collectors may refuse overweight garbage bags.  A review of the garbage sticker revealed that the bag exceeded the weight limit. This is a prudent safety measure for sanitation workers, as it helps prevent injuries. I sincerely hope that all sanitation workers remain safe on the job.

Improved workplace safety measures are necessary for all Korean workers.  I am also curious about the consequences of uncollected garbage bags. It would be preferable if uncollected garbage bags were not left piled on the roadside; perhaps those responsible for waste disposal could take appropriate action as indicated on the stickers.
