Seoul conducts this annual evaluation of all 25 autonomous districts to comprehensively assess their performance in managing outdoor advertisements. The evaluation covers the removal of illegal advertisements, administrative measures, sign improvement projects, and banner recycling programs.

The district has operated nighttime and weekend field teams to remove illegal advertisements and a reward program that compensates residents for collecting and turning in illegal advertisements. It has also responded promptly to related complaints and continued ongoing cleanup efforts. Through sign improvement projects and a sign support program for small business owners, it has also replaced old and damaged signs.

The district has also worked to recycle discarded banners. It sends wooden slats separated from collected banners to Seoul's public collection center for recycling, and has worked with local organizations and groups to make household items, including multipurpose pouches, from discarded banners.

District Mayor Kim Mi-kyung said, "Through field-focused cleanup efforts and systematic management, we will reduce illegal advertisements and create a cleaner Eunpyeong that residents can experience in their daily lives."
