Nongprue cracks down on illegal trash dumpers

PATTAYA:--Nongprue dispatched undercover officers to catch people illegally dumping trash on public property.

 

Sub-district clerk Rungnapa Tubnonghe said ad-hoc dumps have sprung up across the area, forcing civil servants to clean up.

 

Most illegal dumps were cleaned up and signs posted, fences erected and officers put on watch.

 

However, some problem areas persist, such as vacant lots on Pattanakarn Road so Nongprue had officers hide and stake out the area to wait for dumpers.

 

Several were captured and fined.

Is there a hot line with English speakers to report this dumping? I see it off my balcony on a regular basis.

Ohhh great, i hope that's a start doing more! And i hope very heavy fines face the illigal dumpers! Otherwise no learning.

Perhaps the City Hall hotline 1337 will work. They have English speaking staff (for English press 9 will be the announcement).

bribes; but never after dark; at weekends or during the football season.

This will explain why there has been a huge increase in dumping trash recently close to my home about 6 Km from Nongprue.

The problem has not ceased, its just moved !

The fine is likely a couple hundred baht~generally, they let the poor do what they want, so the rich can get richer~the rich live a secure, clean and filtered life, getting richer the whole while

Yes, there are a few spots being newly developed as trash dumps on the roads to the casava fields near me too. 

Dumping rubbish. Thais being Thais.

A few years ago in a side street of Soi Nernplubwan there was a banner with following text :

 

" Don't put any garbage here ".

 

Only in English 

 

Did it mean that only " farangs " would put garbage there, Thais won't do such a thing.

 

or :

 

Only " farangs " weren't allowed to put garbage, Thais could.

A good start will be a better collection system for every house and shops 

and owner of land should put wall around their land
