Beng Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 Where is all the city's garbage being brought to ? Must be a huge site. Anyone ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aussie69 Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 How do you think those mountains in the background originated, they weren't there 50 years ago. Seriously though, im guessing somewhere upstream of the towns water supply Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadMac Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 From what I know it all gets burnt, but I don't know where they do it in Chiang Mai. All the recyclable things are recycled before, not much plastic goes in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmth Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 There is a small landfill in Mae Hia next to the river, south of Ban Wang Tan. Not big enough to hold much, so I don't know what they put there or where the rest goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMKiwi Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 I believe a lot of the green waste....that is food scraps and the like go to pig farms somewhere. I've seen (And smelt) big trucks carting stuff both North and South of Chiang Mai. Not great getting stuck behind one while riding a motorcy. They are pretty well covered with a tarp but sometimes leakage does occur...beware it's nasty stuff to get on you or your vehicle. Doesn't smell great either.

fredge45 Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 Large trucks haul it to a "landfill" between Chom Thong and Hot. Downstream of any water source for Chiang Mai. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beng Posted May 29, 2016 Author Share Posted May 29, 2016 Large trucks haul it to a "landfill" between Chom Thong and Hot. Downstream of any water source for Chiang Mai. That is min. a 4 hr return trip in a truck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T_Dog Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 Ran across a large landfill in Mae Taeng mountain biking a few years ago. Constant burning and quite a few residents rummaging through the refuse. The smell in the area of plastic burning and organic decomposition was indescribable, and kept me from getting any closer than 200 meters from the entrance. The were essentially filling a canyon on a low ridge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uptoyoumyfriend Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 the chiang mai muang municipality does not own any land outside muang.so all the trash has to be sold to the lowest bidder obviously.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
