White balloons were found attached to bags of waste, with scraps of plastic, paper and brown-coloured dirt spilling onto roads and pavements.
Residents have been warned to stay indoors after North Korea sent 150 balloons carrying rubbish across the border into South Korea overnight.
South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff said: “North Korea’s actions clearly violate international law and seriously threaten the safety of our citizens. Aid and items banned in the North have been sent over, such as propaganda leaflets, food, medicine, radios and USB sticks containing South Korean news and television dramas.
He added: “Mounds of wastepaper and filth will soon be scattered over the border areas and the interior of South Korea and it will directly experience how much effort is required to remove them.”
