“It’s cold, but they even cleaned all the way to the front of our homes - I’m really thankful.”
On November 19th 2025, volunteers from the Shincheonji Volunteer Group Daegu Branch carried out a major street-cleaning effort around Daemyeong Station, improving safety and walkability for local residents. A passing apartment resident expressed their gratitude above.
Early that Saturday morning, 30 volunteers gathered and walked through narrow alleys and busy corners, removing built-up litter, fallen leaves, cigarette butts, and cans and bottles lodged in flowerbeds, making the area surrounding Daemyeong Station look noticeably cleaner.
Their clean-up route stretched roughly one kilometre, from Daemyeong Station’s Gaenari Mansion area to Gwanmun Market - a zone known for heavy foot traffic and recurring waste-related complaints.
Because Daemyeong Station is surrounded by an underground station, traditional market, and residential blocks, thousands pass through daily. Narrow market alleys near Gwanmun Market frequently receive complaints about illegal waste disposal.
For such areas, environmental cleanup is more than beautification - it helps prevent slips, falls, and other winter accidents.
A volunteer in her 20s who participated in the effort said:
“When snow and fallen leaves overlap, the ground becomes dangerous. We cleaned the area so both citizens and local shop owners can move safely.”
Meanwhile, the Daegu branch has been choosing seasonal high-risk zones each year to conduct cleanup activities throughout the city.
