사장님, 쓰레기 자리요. 우리 건물 앞은 이제 안 돼요. 빨래방 문 앞이라 악취가 그대로 들어가요.
It's about the rubbish point. It can't stay in front of our building any more. It's right by the laundromat door, so the smell goes straight in.

알지요, 할머니. 밤마다 길고양이들이 봉투를 뜯어 놓는 것도 봤습니다. 그래서 저도 생각해 봤는데요. 수거함은 저희 가게 옆 담장 쪽으로 옮길 용의가 있습니다. 거기는 통행로가 넓어서 수거 차도 서기 좋고요.
I know. I've seen the stray cats tearing the bags open at night too. So I've been thinking about it as well. I'm prepared to move the bins over by the wall beside my shop. The path is wide there, so it's easy for the collection truck to stop too.
