“Ask a North Korean” is an NK News series featuring interviews with and columns by North Korean defectors, most of whom left the DPRK within the last few years.
Readers may submit their questions for defectors by emailing [email protected] and including their first name and city of residence.
Today’s question is about how North Korea handles trash disposal and recycling.
Jin, who was born and raised in North Korea until she defected to the South in 2014, writes about the differences in recycling between the two countries and the reasons behind it.
