Nearly a month after the Ministry of Environment asked Phnom Penh City Hall to stop villagers in Chbar Ampov district from disposing their trash in the Tonle Sap river, residents yesterday said no one had yet come to clean the area or end the practice.

 

Yors Run, who only moved into a house in Derm Sleng village three days ago, said he took the matter into his own hands yesterday by instructing a neighbour who owns a tractor to push the rubbish down toward the river because the smell was “very bad”.

 

Part of the riverside dump area, which had until then been covered with a 12-by-10-metre pile of steaming rubbish, was cleared, but the trash ended up instead spilling down directly into the river.

Pisses me off to no end when I see people just throwing litter on the ground or not cleaning up after themselves.

Big education is needed starting at the schools and tv commercials. 

More waste bins couldn't hurt either.

Start a campaign "KEEP THAILAND CLEAN DON'T LITTER "

Clean up Cambodia, clean up Thailand - stop littering or pay fines like in Singapore.
