Seoul to add more public trash cans by 2025</strong></p> <p>기사 요약: 길거리의 쓰레기통이 부족하다는 불만이 지속적으로 제기되자 서울시에선 2,500여 가량의 쓰레기통 추가 설치 계획을 발표.</p> <p> </p> <p>[1] The city of Seoul said Thursday that it will add over 2,500 new trash bins on the streets by 2025. The difficulty in disposing of trash in public spaces has been among the most common complaints from foreign visitors to the capital, as well as residents. Across Seoul, a city of some 10 million residents, there are currently fewer than 5,000 trash cans.</p> <p>*dispose: -of somebody/something 없애다, 처리하다 (throw away/throw out/dump)</p> <p> </p> <p>[2] Public trash cans disappeared en masse from the streets of Seoul and elsewhere across the country following the 1995 introduction of a pay-as-you-throw-away system, in which individuals are required to purchase standard garbage bags for the disposal of household waste. This led to a reduction in the number of public trash cans on the streets, discouraging people from using them to avoid paying the price of their waste.</p> <p>*en masse: 집단으로</p> <p> </p> <p>[3] But a 2021 survey conducted by the city government revealed that over 70 percent of respondents perceived Seoul as having a shortage of accessible street trash cans. City officials said the planned installation of new trash bins will target areas with high foot traffic, such as Gwanghwamun Gate and Yeouido, as well as around bus stops where trash tends to overflow due to restrictions on bringing beverages onto the buses.</p> <p>*high foot traffic: 유동 인구 규모</p> <p>*overflow: 넘치다, 넘침/ (overspill, pile up)</p> <p>기사원문: <a href="https://www.koreaherald.com/view.php?ud=20231013000522&ACE_SEARCH=1">⁠https://www.koreaherald.com/view.php?ud=20231013000522&amp;ACE_SEARCH=1⁠</a></p> <p> </p> <p><strong>2.
