Iron Tongue Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 No worries, they'll hire a truck to pick it all up, and then dump everything into the ocean! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soupdragon Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 Easy fix. Make legal dumping areas that are cleared regularly. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirineou Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 My wife's village in Khon Kaen at the outskirts of the village has a designated area with a large metal room that the walls are wire mesh. You open the door, and throw the garbage in, The room keeps the garbage from blowing around, and the dogs from getting to it. They pick it up once a week and hose the place down. By the end of the week it gets pretty gamy but it is far enough from anything to bother anyone, and it keeps the place clean. If every area had a similar set up there would be no need for people to burn or throw on the side of the road. IMO standardised covered containers like they have in many countries that a truck could pick up dump in it back and place back in a couple of minutes would be better and easier to handle, but it would require a higher tax base to finance. I think it is inevitable that such a system will eventually be implemented. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
