Every now and then I see someone on YouTube wonder how it can be that the streets and sidewalks here in Korea are so clean while there are no public trashcans available. The secret is: Old people.
Let me explain, every morning when I go to the daycare with my son I see between 5 and 10 elderly people walk along the street with their yellow vests - which say “Pangyo Senior Welfare Center” on their back - and pick up all the trash. I guess this is some kind of a thing they do to keep them engaged and moving.
Somehow the picture I uploaded doesn’t work and now I can’t edit it from PieFed anymore, so here is a link to the picture: https://jeena.net/photos/687
They aren’t… Where do you live? It’s filthy down here in the south.
In Pangyo.
Depends on the city. I was just in daejeon and it was really clean
