Abstract
This study was performed to investigate the recycling activity of solid waste. Three study area were selected, which were Dobonggu in Seoul, Siheung City and Kimpogun. The amount of recycled out of the solid waste generated was between 0.02 kg per capita/day -0.10 kg per capita/day. The recovery rate of the waste paper was 42.7%, which was the highest, followed by glass bottles, cans and plastics. The waste paper was the most important item concerning its weight percentage and amount of sales. It comprised more than 60% in its weight and sales amount out of the total recycled item. Glass bottles placed the second. Amount of sale for the recycled item was less than 5 Won per capita/day, this is very low. The Recycling Drive Association, a private organization was mainly organized by public administrational basis and its activity was simply concentrated on the reclassification of the collected recyclables. Generally, citizen's participation and the member's satisifaction was low since there was no economic incentives. In this paper, some strategies were suggested and evaluated to increase citizen's recycling activity.
시민들의 생활폐기물에 대한 재활용활동을 알아보기 위하여 서울시 도봉구, 시흥시, 김포군을 선정하여 발생원별로 그 실태를 조사하였다. 3개 조사지역의 재활용량은 0.02 kg/인/일 -0.10 kg/인/일 범위에 있었으며, 회수율은 폐지가 42.7%로 가장 높고, 빈병, 유리류가 10.7%, 캔류가 14.8%, 플라스틱류가 2.8%로 가장 낮았다. 수집 및 판매되는 재활용품에서는 중량비나 판매금액의 구성비에 있어서 폐지가 60% 이상으로 가장 중요한 품목이었으며, 다음이 빈병류이었다. 재활용품의 판매금액은 주택지역이나 사무지역 모두 5원/인/일 이하로 미미한 액수였다. 시민조직의 일종인 재활용추진협의회의 구성을 보면 대부분이 통 반장 중심의 조직으로 구성되어 있었고 활동은 쓰레기의 재분류작업에 한정되어 있었다. 일반적으로 시민들의 참여도와 회원들의 만족도는 낮았으며 경제적 유인동기가 낮아서 가까스로 명맥을 유지하고 있었다. 이 논문에서는 재활용 활성화방안으로 분리수거지침의 제정, 적정 인구규모별 자생적 주민조직의 활성화, 유휴노동력의 활용, 민간수거업체의 육성에 대하여 검토하였다.
