As I moved house, I organized the kitchen, and there are many items that I really need to throw away, such as frying pans, porcelain bowls, and wooden cutting boards.
Among them, today, we have summarized the exact method of discarding the frying pan that was confirmed by the Environment Department. 후라이팬 버리는 법
Dispose of the frying pan by contacting the Environmental Division 1분전
When I searched the Internet, I found information that the frying pan was thrown away in the following way.
1) If you put it out in front of your house, it’s scrap metal, so junk pickers will take it right away.
2) Since it is scrap metal, scrap metal is collected separately.
3) Even if you throw it in a general garbage bag, you can throw it in a general garbage bag because the company separates it as scrap metal.
4) Dispose of in a special garbage bag.
But is this information true?
As someone who likes to be precise, I directly inquired at various places such as the district office, dong office, and environment department, and received the answer below.
1) First of all, as we know, if the entire frying pan is integrated with scrap metal, it is separately discharged as scrap metal.

2) If only the body of the frying pan is scrap metal, separate it from the handle and dispose of the body and screws as scrap metal. If the handle is plastic, it is separated into plastic, and if it is made of mixed material, it cannot be separated, so it is discarded as general garbage.

Discard the frying pan
3) In the case of mixed frying pans whose body and handle cannot be separated, they are often disposed of in general garbage or special garbage bags.
However, in the case of special garbage bags, some regions use them and some don’t. (The region where I live doesn’t use special garbage bags either. Also, in the case of non-combustible burlap bags sold by the district office, porcelain, glass, ceramics, etc. It is correct to throw away non-combustible materials, but frying pans are not included in non-combustible burlap items.) In areas where special garbage bags are not sold, you must register them as waste at the local cleaning department and dispose of them in front of your house. However, it is true that filing a report to throw away a frying pan feels a bit cumbersome. In my case, I had to throw away all the waste together while moving, so the burden was less.
wait here!! A lot of people throw away frying pans in general garbage bags as instructed by the cleaning department… If the garbage collectors know that there are frying pans in them, they are, in principle, subject to refusal of garbage collection. You may collect it without knowing that it contains a frying pan, but you should know that it is not originally disposed of in general trash and is an item that is rejected for collection.
In the case of the frying pan at my house, fortunately, when I looked at it, the body and handle were separated, so the body was scrap metal and the handle was plastic.

Then, first check whether the frying pan you need to throw away is a removable type or a mixed material, and dispose of it neatly.
