Bangkok Waste App Rollout Falters Due to Low Awareness

Bangkok’s new waste-sorting initiative, set to begin in two months, is struggling due to low public awareness. The scheme, operated through the BKK Waste Pay app, incentivises proper rubbish separation with lower monthly fees (20 baht), while non-compliance will raise fees to 60 baht. While wealthier districts show more awareness, many residents—especially in condos or older communities—remain uninformed. Bangkok’s Chief Sustainability Officer admits sign-ups are below target, despite efforts to increase outreach. The city hopes the scheme will both cut waste management costs and promote long-term environmental responsibility.
