Usually, when disposing of bulky waste, you must report it to the district office and purchase a sticker to dispose of it, but in the case of apartments, you can purchase it through the management office. Of course, these days, blankets and pillows are just thrown away as they used to be, but please note that if you throw them away in a regular garbage bag, they may not be collected. You have to pay for it, and if you break it, you have to pay an unexpected fine.
According to the 'Guidelines for Separate Disposal of Recyclables' of the Ministry of Environment, it is stated that if a duvet cannot be placed in a volume-rate garbage bag, it must be reported and disposed of as oversized waste. In other words, depending on the size of the futon, it must be declared and discarded as a volume-rate garbage bag or oversized waste. However, since waste disposal methods differ slightly depending on local government ordinances, it is necessary to check in advance to avoid being hit with a fine bomb. Depending on the district, you may need to attach a report certificate, and if you register it as 'large household waste' on the ward office website, you can print it out or attach it to a large volume-rate bag before disposing of it. Duvets usually cost around 1,000 to 2,000 won per piece, and pillows cost 500 to 2,000 won, but there are slight differences depending on the region. Of course, some expensive areas receive up to 8,000 won, and you must use standard envelopes.
If there is no exact regulation on the cost of a pillow, there are places where it can be discharged in a general garbage bag. In particular, cotton blankets must comply with the regulations, and in some places, if it is a general thin blanket, it can be thrown away in a clothing collection box. Some places recommend reporting as large household waste rather than general garbage volume-rate bags. Most of the volume-rate garbage bags may not be incinerated depending on the material when incinerated, so they say that they receive a correct large-scale household waste report.
Let me give you a tip
If you need to dispose of a large amount of old clothes, it is a good idea to use a local used clothes collection company. If you search the Internet, you will find many organizations that donate old clothes as well as companies that collect used clothes. If you throw away clothes through these companies or donation organizations, you can receive compensation for not only clothes but also used books, home appliances, and scrap metal by measuring the price per kg.
***If you throw away a lot of clothes, get rewarded and throw away***
