PM explains new principle in garbage disposal management

 

 

Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha last night defended the new Cleanliness Act promulgated last year which empowers local administration organizations to manage garbage disposal with the private sector allowed to join in the undertaking.

 

In his weekly nationwide address, the prime minister explained a new principle recently endorsed by the cabinet which goes along this line – wherever garbage is generated, it must be disposed there.

 

Because of this new principle, he said garbage disposal project will be exempted from town and country planning law in the way that a garbage disposal facility can be built in “green” area.

To prevent protests from people in a community over the use of its land as dumping ground for garbage collected from elsewhere which has always been the case, he said that the cabinet recently approved a new guideline as a matter of principle – that is garbage must be disposed at the location where it is created – so that there must be collective responsibility of the localities to get rid of their own garbage.

 

I'm sure garbage say just for example collected from central, high rise Bangkok will be disposed in central, high rise Bangkok.  Sure...burn it right in central Bangkok or start a landfill in central Bangkok.   Sure....right.     

 

The new guideline sounds more like a plan to get rid of the garbage anywhere you can....really no planning at all.

 

Maybe this lot need to visit Singapore and see first hand on how to dispose of rubbish and recyclables, but i guess thais know more than singaporeans.

They should but won't, they have plenty of space to avoid the problem for years to come.

How does this apply to the garbage spewing out of his mouth every time he opens it?

Singapore is half the area of Bangkok and has a little more than half the population of Bangkok.

The Singaporeans are certainly more organized than Thais, but as the saying goes, "where there's trash, there's cash" or as they say in Yorkshire,  "Where there's muck there's brass.".

Most of the garbage disposal /dumpster / bin contractors in N.& S. America have mob connections. 

maybe some enterprising Thai mafia types can start collecting garbage if they haven't already.

It's okay he recycles it.

Small house construction contractors and the workers dumping anywhere they can. Do it here in Chiang Mai. I have actually yelled at different ones many times and took pictures to deter them. This and Thai people letting their dogs poo everywhere is a major problem.

I was about to say something on the same lines. He flaps his trap so much he could chew through and eliminate all of Thailand's garbage in one press conference.

Same process as the Edmonton plant in London that's been there since late 70's or early 80's at the latest.

Why is there a problem? Garbage here is the main ingredient for filling up low land to build on it. We all live on it.

Some of you live on it. Unfortunately, living upcountry, I don't.

Does that mean if I have a meal in a restaurant I can't leave until the food has passed through my system and 'deposited' in their facilities?

 

Garbage disposal will be on election day.

There may be those who say we're talking out of our backsides, but I prefer to see it as following the government's lead.

Did the Generals number two not have a very recent trouser filling calamity and the streets were cleared in anticipation for disposal the message has filtered down from his briefs very fast so far more to follow.?

Thailand is a filthy country and the Thais are not educated nor bothered about it apparently.

 

They are only bothered when someone points it out and they lose face.

Yes agree. I told an old lady in Thai that her Overly Fat dogs were pooping everywhere on the street and on the sidewalk, and up on the walls on the side walks of peoples homes, She Said Law!  Today I found it out in front of my house. And this is a brand new housing development.Now it is going to become a fight.

Best suggestion for the location of this sewage treatment plant?

 

Sounds like he's asking people and businesses in the cities to burn their garbage on site, that there will no longer be refuse pick up if there ever was. Wonder if he's ever been to Jakarta where there is no garbage collection or effective sewers for most of the metropolitain area, where one of the "rivers" going through,  much the like Chao Phraya, is a slow moving 60-80 foot high mountain range of plastic bags and rotting refuse that makes the skin itch when standing anywhere within 300 meters. That might be equally instructive as a trip to Singapore. Then again he's probably going to trot off to London or Switzerland for a nice  billionaire exile in one of those places  so none of it will trouble him.

Yep, seen it a few years ago, think it was on the YouTube channel

When the PM talks about garbage everyone should listen. He is a garbage expert!

I didn't realise he had principles. Obviously he does. It's just that they're monetarily flexible.

My, my. We're in LoS. Would have thought Government House the more appropriate.

"Because of this new principle, he said garbage disposal project will be exempted from town and country planning law in the way that a garbage disposal facility can be built in “green” area."

 

Google Translate strikes again?

 

I say anything (well, not anything!) to get the garbage trucks to stop sorting the garbage on city streets night - an operating that should occur in a central garbage processing facility. Oops, I guess there isn't one!

 

Ran across this fascinating and informative  "Trashopolis" television series - two seasons covering major cities. Here's the Berlin episode:
