Bangkok, July 6 – The Governor of Bangkok ordered the efficiency of garbage collection and the use of garbage trucks for rent. Consider overtime pay for staff Set the storage frequency at least twice a week and adjust the storage path.
Chatchart Sittipunt, Governor of Bangkok Mentioning about waste management that the current form of the city has changed. More and more people are moving out to the suburbs. It can be seen that the most populated areas are Khlong Sam Wa District, about 200,000 people and Sai Mai District, about 200,000 people. There are many new villages. Garbage collection must go into every house. As for the garbage truck rental contract, 16 hours/day, the average distance is 200 kilometers, there are 2 shifts of storage, but the fact that the garbage truck is only used 7-8 hours a day due to insufficient staff. Therefore, the policy has been given to staff to do more overtime. Ready to adjust the process and rearrange routes At every point where garbage collection is required, garbage must be collected at least 2 times/week. therefore allowing the area to manage the existing people first in order to meet the needs of more people
As for stopping the waste sorting of each garbage truck, it's not a problem. Because it is considered a process to reduce the amount of waste that goes to landfills. But he insisted that it must not affect public service, that is, the service must be completed according to the daily collection goal. The management will track the history of the garbage truck's running route from GPS in order to make the most efficient use of the rented resources. In the long term, we believe that waste will be reduced. Because there is a waste separation project, the Zero Waste project, and in the future there may be a new staff allocation rate to suit the population of each area.
for large pieces of waste ask the public to follow from the district In terms of setting the date, time and location of large waste collection according to the plan of each district Because large pieces of garbage will use different types of vehicles from general garbage vehicles.-Thai News Agency
