joskeshake Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 Hi, i wonder , where I live in soi bonkot, sometimes a lady comes and ask for pay for empty the garbage bins,ok, but is she working for the city or for herself, now she asked 5 months x 40 baht = 200 baht,not that big amount for 5 months, but i have my doubts,she give receipt, but I can make them also on pc.Anybody know more ?

fforest1 Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 (edited) I think England and America charge just a wee hair above 40 Baht a month to take away your garage... So consider 40 Baht a bargain... Edited December 25, 2015 by fforest1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fakename Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 If she ask for the money before hand, maybe you wont see here again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chicowoodduck Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 Wish they would do a better job of getting rid of the real garbage that lurks the streets of Pattaya...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacko45k Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 I had to pay for services at my old place........ but I was sure I was just supplying drinking money for someone. I got the impression only the foreigners were being canvassed for money! My new place, never paid a penny and there are frequent trash collections.

1FinickyOne Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 Heck, I pay 180 baht for people to clean my car and I am pleased to do it - what a treat - my receipt is a clean car.. Try not paying for a month and keep your garbage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pepper1959 Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 20 baht a month where I live and I have decided to pay 12 months to save the poor guy having to come every month, which must be a pain for him. He has given a receipt, so no problem. Better than the AUD250 a year back in Perth and the fact that not everyone pays in the estate here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dotpoom Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 I live in Bang Saray....pay 240 Baht for the year at the depot's office. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gandalf12 Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 Does the garbage get taken care of? If so why are you worried? Most villages pay for this service. I know we pay Baht 60 / month in Bangkok. I dont care if the person collecting the money makes a bit from it as long as the rubbish is taken care of. Several times a week the garbage truck turns up and all the bins are emptied. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emilymat Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 I also pay 40 baht a month and the guy gives me a receipt. The dustbins are emptied twice a week and we have good street lights. Pretty good value in my mind. Pay, and don't worry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snackbar Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 Everyday at 7.30 pm a government truck turns up to collect garbage in Phuket town. I pay income tax for this service. Anybody can buy a generic receipt book. A receipt doesn't mean the money is going to finance garbage collection. Sounds a bit feudal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
novo58 Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 In Udon Thani ..................we get a visit from a guy every month for this collection. 20B per month. Garbage always collected twice a week.......................from our bins that is ---not from the streets thou. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ericthai Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 Lucky you.. We live out in farm land with no garbage pickup. Wish we had it. We have to burn our trash. All organics goes to be fertilizer or dog / cat food. All plastics, glass is saved and guy comes around a few times a month and collects that which he pays us. Something small 60-100Baht. I'm hoping one of these years they do arrange for trash pick up in our village. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
