City Hall Plans New Dumpsites

With the Dangkor dumpsite straining to take on further large amounts of garbage in the capital, City Hall plans to set up two new dumpsites in Chroy Chongva and Char Ampov districts, according to the Phnom Penh governor.

Pa Socheatvong, Phnom Penh municipal governor, posted on his Facebook page Sunday that it was clear to City Hall from an inspection of the Dangkor dumpsite in Dangkor district that the site is running out of space, as Phnom Penh continues to generate increasing amounts of garbage.

“To solve this problem, City Hall is now considering two new sites for waste storage, in Chroy Chongva and Chbar Ampov districts, in order to prevent garbage collection delays and avoid causing traffic jams or accidents in the city,” said Mr. Socheatvong.
