CityNews – Private garbage collecting businesses haves been caught leaving piles of rubbish near Sanpatong Hospital, leading to many complaints by nearby residents as well as patients and staff of the hospital.

 

The mayor of Yuwa District visited the site and discovered that piles of garbage collected not only from Chiang Mai, but also Lamphun, including garbage collected from a hospital in Chiang Mai, were being dumped in this area, causing not just an eye sore, but hygiene issues and offensive odours.

 

It was reported that this area has been a dump site for up to ten years and in spite of billboards and obstacles blocking the area from access, the problem persists.

Go to any  of the islands down south. Kho Samui for one ,hidden away,off the beaches, will be tonnes and tonnes of garbage.

 

The Trash Heroes group,mainly foreigners  at Hua Hin(see on fb) regulary pick up over 100 kg of rubbish every week off the beaches

 

Thailand has never addressed the issue ,recycling is almost no existent...3rd world thinking sadly

Naughty is not the word. Illegal, irresponsible, inept, avoidance; these are words more applicable

10 years, and still no usable compost - which eliminates excuse No 37...

It's a few years back that I was down the M/cycle garage that I use for maintenance and repair.

A badly dressed Thai came along on his bicycle pulling a trailer.

He started to go through the three big wheel rubbish bins they have and took certain items.

I look to the Thai's I knew and sort of shook my head, disgust/disapproval/whatever !

After the guy had moved on one of my Thai friends says, words to effect of

He drives a Benz when he's not working and his children go to best school.

Someone noticed?  Time to move it to another place, until someone "notices" it there....

Seems to be an area problem having rubbish strewn about.  Officials need to check out the 'recycle' pile just south of the Maw Wang underpass.  Hard to find I suppose as it is right next to the highway.

Are these dumping grounds part of the "Unseen Thailand Tours".........?

The people of LOS are some of the most cleanest people personally but some of the most dirtiest people to their areas outside of their homes .
