If there's a Hi Mart near you, they have an electronics recycling bin outside. You can dump any small appliance in there - cables, hair dryers, etc

For anyone who lives in an officetel, there’s usually a box for small electronics. You can usually ask the security guard for help, too. Many buildings I lived in also had battery recycling in the mailbox area; in one of the mailboxes.

Call 120 and ask for your specific district rules. I know that like here in my area you can just throw them right in the regular trash and they actively say this on trash posters etc

I'm not sure if they'll take them but if you have a junk yard stop near by. i know they take apart strips and make money off those too...

Each local dong-office has a special place to throw away small electronics and batteries. The one I used was outside, so you can even go after hours.

I've also seen (green) metal receptacles with openings for certain things like light bulbs and batteries. (I've seen them in Guro and Hongdae)

if you live in 아파트단지, just put it out on garbage day along with other people's electronics

if you live in smaller residences, you usually need to throw away multiple at once to be eligible for pickup

Community Centers (시민 centers) usually have a bin or area in the parking lot for electronics. You'd probably see a bunch of old fans and junk like that there.

The city you live in should have a web page that details how to properly dispose of electronic items such as buying a sticker or turning it in a recycling center. You'll have to deal with the information all being in Korean and website layout from 2000-ish though.

Most of the big apartment complexes have a recycling bin for them.

Batteries and lights have a special blue box that you put them in. There is probably one in your neighborhood.

If you don’t have it at your apartment, you have to check carefully for your district as rules might change place to place.

So just call 120 and they can call your district office and check. They’re good with stuff like that.

Hangang River. Then we can have Bong Joon-Ho film the sequel.

Check with your local 주민센터 as each place has slightly different rules. Many have their rules posted online.

Everywhere I’ve lived in Korea there was no fee to dispose of electronics (unlike other non-trash items). In Seoul I was always told to just put them out with the recycling, but this may vary between each -dong or -gu. In the countryside where I live now, we take electronics to a dedicated e-waste bin at our nearest government neighborhood office.

I understand that unlike furniture and other big items, electronics are free to throw away with the recycling.

Normally you'll have to pay someone to take it away.

Every gu and dong has different policies for large item/electronics disposal. Some want you to buy a sticker for it from the office, some want you to call trash company directly and schedule pickup.

Call 120 tomorrow 9-6 and they can get in touch with the office nearest you. They’ll do a three way and translate with you listening.

Is it a building with ajusshi who control the trash and even like private pickup? If so, you show them the items and they tell you if they will get a sticker for it (and you give them cash for it) or just “commercial waste big 100 L orange trash bag.”

Post it on Karrot (당근) for free and ppl will come pick it up from you. Better than tossing it

Except for things made of cans and plastic, you can throw everything else in general trash bags. You should put anything made of cans or plastic into the recycling bags that your building provides for everyone.

Of course, ajusshi always give you an answer. He is always happy to help you :)

Not sure how trash works in your apartment. That would all be in recycling. Baskets in paper, metal in metal bin and so on.

We even have a bin for electronics put in 2 years ago by the city.

Post it all on FB for free. People will take it

I've been posting and asking around about these things, got no response sa akoang mga post. OP Imma follow this post if anyone would answer here. Thanks!

Maybe one of those garang kuni? I get the occasional flyer / notice at my front gate.

Actually, I would like to know if there any other options. Previously, I had to drive my ultrawide monitor to a shop in Ubi to get it recycled.

I post for free on Carousell and indicate that it's spoilt. Usually it goes quite fast. The takers maybe hope they can repair it and resell for a profit, or maybe they'll take it apart for scraps. I'm good cause it's taken out of my hands with me barely lifting a finger.

City Square customer service counter level 2. There is a size limit so check the dimensions. Kitchen appliances probably can but TV will be too big.
