Founded in 2010, Win Process engages in the business of sorting and recycling hazardous waste. Its factory is located in Village 4, Bang But sub-district of Ban Khai district of Rayong province.

 

Pollution Control Department Director-General Atthapol Charoenchansa said today that the department has received complaints from villagers, accusing the waste processing factory of secretly dumping hazardous waste into the environment, contaminating the local waterways, surface water and their arable land.

And now you know why Thai people don't go very far out of their way to bin litter properly.  Even if they can find a bin, which they generally can't.

It's gonna end up in a field anyway.
