PATTAYA:--Despite years of effort, the city has been unable to make a dent in the wave of illegal dumping of garbage, large items and construction waste on roadsides, public land and private lots.Pattaya has removed all restrictions on what can be disposed of in city trash cans in an attempt to end the plague of illegal dumping.

 

Despite years of effort, the city has been unable to make a dent in the wave of illegal dumping of garbage, large items and construction waste on roadsides, public land and private lots.

 

So in last-ditch effort, Deputy Mayor Manote Nongyai announced that old furniture, tree branches, rubble and construction debris can now be disposed of in individual and public garbage cans that will be collected on a regular schedule.

Oh. I don't live in Pattaya, but our dustbin men/garbage collectors have been taking our dead palm tree branches away for years.

I bet the contractor who recently was awarded the contract after a long trial feels shafted with this decision.????

Good point, heaving up bins full of broken rubble and concrete was not in the original bid!

Yeah, but they're the ones making the new rules, aren't they? ????

That's actually quite an enlightened policy - back in the UK most councils have started charging for bulk waste pickups or even to use the council dump. Flytipping has increased dramatically as a result and then they just have to divert resources to sort that out. Apparently under a previous management at our condo they hadn't paid the city garbage bill for over 2 years but they still continued to take it away. There's a lot to criticise Pattaya Council for but from where I'm viewing it they seem to have got this right.

He'll probably refuse the contract without more cash, that'll take 6 months of arguing during which time nothing will be collected at all. TIT

It's a shame the Tessakit and the Police can't get off their collective fat a##es and actually do the job they are paid to do, ie get out there and catch these people who are disposing of their waste illegally

When we want we can ..
This problem is almost global.
In France some mayors have taken the bull by the horns and have the wild deposits "peeled" by employees trained for this.
Generally they discover in the rubbish illegally deposited evidence of the place where they come from.
These mayors have the rubbish in question loaded in dump trucks and have it dumped in front of the offender's door with the invoice that goes well with it;
invoice on which they will discover the hours spent by the employees to find them and the cost of the truck ...
Plus a fine for illegal discharge.

 

and icing on the cake, national newspapers write about it , which makes a positive publicity for the mayor and of course a loss of masterful face for the offender.

Pat-trash-aya. No organized, house-by-house recycle program. No consequence for illegal dumping. The inmates seem to running the show. Pathetic.

You say that but I get a guy round regular, a scavenger, and I collect the stuff he wants separately. That is a form of recycling.
