Popular Post snoop1130 Posted July 15, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted July 15, 2022 Bangkok Governor Chadchart Sittipunt made a surprise visit to the On Nut garbage disposal facility late last night (Thursday) to watch how garbage collectors do their jobs. He also took a ride on one of their collection trucks. During the visit, the governor told Thai PBS reporters that, while many people in Bangkok have several days off this week, the city’s garbage collectors, who have to work every day from midnight until 6am, do not. Dressed in a garbage collector’s uniform, he admitted he had never thought of riding on a garbage truck to gain a first-hand insight into how the garbage collection system functions in the capital.

internationalism Posted July 16, 2022 Share Posted July 16, 2022 so what facts did he find, which were not known to him before? still, it was rather post-election publicity stunt. He is aiming higher and has good PR team 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope he's been enlightened as to the state of rubbish pick-up points and it's collection... everything in the back of one truck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cardinalblue Posted July 16, 2022 Share Posted July 16, 2022 How about riding in a garbage truck in the West….he will learn they use a container system with mechanical lifts so only one driver per truck…different color bins for source separation everywhere thailand does many things right…..solid waste management/litter control is not one of them….

Lucky Bones Posted July 16, 2022 Share Posted July 16, 2022 Garbage truck in my village leaks badly. I have to get the gurney out on the Soi with detergent after they come through. I really do not envy these guys/girls picking up maggot filled bins. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
