webfact Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 Fly tippers caught red handed dumping rubbish in Pattaya Picture: Sophon Cable PATTAYA: -- A contingent of municipal workers, soldiers and police laid in wait behind Lotus in North Pattaya yesterday hoping to catch fly ippers dumping trash. They didn't have to wait long before a Bangkok plate six-wheeler arrived and started unloading its consignment of rubbish, reported Sophon Cable TV on Facebook. Three people were arrested and claimed they were just contractors acting on behalf of a hotel. Pattaya municipality spokesman Pinit Maneerat said that his team were acting on orders from Pattaya mayor Anan Charoenchasri to get tough and clean up the resort. Those dumping the trash face a fine of 2,000 baht in court under littering ordinances, said Pinit, while an investigation is underway to find who ordered the dumping of the trash. They too may face prosecution. The six-wheeler was taken into evidence. Source: Sophon Cable -- © Copyright Thai Visa News 2017-05-25 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joepattaya1961 Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 Dumping it on one of the many dumping sites around town will cost THB 100 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trogers Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 Petty fines. Need only to designate the business and home of these employers as public tipping grounds for 6 months to stop them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emster23 Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 Do we have a hotline number to reach enforcement? Would they respond? I have photos of dumping & license plate numbers in the pics on more than daily basis off 2nd road Jomtien. I have considered buying paintballs, etc.... Haven't called the cops before as that would just be waste of my SIM top up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jesimps Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 Did they make them load it back on the truck I wonder? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
williamgeorgeallen Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 until they set up a refuse station to collect and dispose of this trash it is all a waste of time. even when they clean up one area the trash from there just gets dumped in another area. as foreigners we are just going to accept the disgusting state of most built up areas as thainess.

just.a.thought Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 (edited) They should take a look at the area around Chak Nok lake. It's an utter disgrace how local people treat the environment they live in especially since it is right next to an important future water source.

FredNL Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 Just put your trash in BKK near the road. It will be gone within a few hours. The only thing you will create is a traffic jam full with recycle vehicles trying to pick up their needs.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If catched again 1.000.000 Baht were the right penalty plus confiscation of the truck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaywalker Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 "Fly Tipping" is a new phrase to me??? How about illegal dumping? Thought maybe it was like "cow tipping". Forgive me, but I'm from Florida. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
