After downloading the file, check your nearest old clothes bin! At this time, it is a good idea to check the data modification date.

If the data modification date is old or the clothing collection box data is not available, try the method below.
2. Inquire at the nearest community center
The second method is to call the Administrative Welfare Center (Resident Center) and inquire.
Since more people than you might think look for used clothes collection boxes, community centers are also well aware of the locations of used clothes collection boxes nearby.
This is the quickest and easiest way to check the location of your used clothes collection box.
If you are unable to contact the community center because it is late, try searching for the location of the used clothes collection box in the search box on the local website.
You can also download the used clothes collection box location file.
If you have found the location of a used clothes collection box, but the distance is too far or there are too many clothes to carry, you must request to collect the used clothes in person.
You can find out how to do this below.
3. Use a door-to-door collection company for used clothes
The method I use the most is to use a used clothes collection company.
All you have to do is collect them separately and contact us, and they will come to your home and take them directly, so it is very convenient and you can even receive money, although it is a small amount.
You can search for used clothes collection companies on the Internet, but I usually use Carrot Market.
Go to Carrot Market
For clothes that are almost new, we also conduct second-hand transactions through Carrot Market, but if you search for door-to-door collection of used clothes here, companies operating in the area will appear.
You can contact the company you like, schedule an appointment, and dispose of your old clothes.
Usually, used clothes collection companies charge 300 to 500 won per kilo.
This may vary depending on the company, so please refer to it and use it well.
