Common queries on Seoul trash disposal rules and schedules.
Trash disposal in Seoul typically takes place between sunset (18:00–20:00) and early morning (24:00–06:00). Collection days and times vary by district and neighborhood.
Drain excess moisture and dispose of food waste using official district-designated food waste bags or tagged food waste bins on scheduled collection days.
Bulky waste (furniture, large appliances, thick comforters) requires online registration on your district office website or purchasing a bulky waste sticker at local convenience stores.
