Reservations can be made on the Internet or by mobile phone, so let’s sit comfortably at home and find out how to clean up your old appliances for free!

First of all, what is the free waste disposal system? This is a service in which a collection driver visits the home and collects heavy waste home appliances without paying fees such as moving the appliances to a designated location or purchasing stickers. When a customer makes a collection request (reservation for discharge), vehicles are dispatched from the reservation system (web, call center, mobile app), and collected items are transported to the local government (pickup site) interim collection site after visiting collection by public logistics method. Then, through the process of sending it to a recycling center, the recycling of home appliances takes place.

<Collection Items and Collection Criteria>>
Usually large items (refrigerators, washing machines, air conditioners, TVs, etc.) consist of a single collectible item. For example, an air conditioner is a large home appliance, and even if there is only one discarded appliance, it is a story that they will come to collect it. Other products that are used alone (electric ovens, air purifiers, microwave ovens, etc.) can also be collected as a single collection product. However, small products can be collected only when 5 or more are collected and discharged at the same time. Alternatively, it is said that it is possible to collect it even if it is discharged together when disposing of a single collection item. For example, if you want to throw away only food dryers, you cannot visit the free collection driver, and you must make a reservation to collect 5 or more items such as fryers, surveillance cameras (CCTV), beam projectors, food dryers, food dryers, video game machines, etc. It is a story that the knight can come.
<Items to collect>
Before the collection driver arrives, the product must be completely removed. For example, in the case of a wall-mounted air conditioner, it must be removed from the wall before the collection driver arrives. In addition, since equipment such as a ladder truck is not operated and operated solely by the driver, products on the rooftop without an elevator must be moved to the first floor in advance. In other words, products that are difficult to move or require additional work during collection will not be collected.
<Emission Reservation Application Process>>
The application process for discharge reservation is very simple. After checking the personal information use agreement, simply select the applicant, collection address, and products to be collected on the next screen, and after confirmation, the vehicle will be dispatched one day before the collection day (after 6:00 p.m.) and the contents will be sent to the applicant via text message. At this time, if you want a non-face-to-face collection, you can put your items outside the house or on the first floor. It is also possible to apply for collection of single collection items and small appliances together. After all, just small appliances doesn’t mean you have to have five or more. And for large home appliances, it is not always possible to apply for collection of just one product, but more than that.
After carefully checking the reservation details, click “Register Reservation” to complete the application process. In addition, a reservation completion message will be sent to KakaoTalk.
