Chonburi mayor Decho
Khongchayasukhwat addresses a meeting about the community recycling bank
program.
Chonburi city officials have launched a community
recycling bank program to encourage residents to separate their garbage and
reduce the load on area landfills.
Recycling banks have already been launched in the Wat Ton
Sin-Wat Nern, and Plee Pier neighborhoods.
The city is working to educate residents on correct
methods of disposing garbage, exchanging ideas on discarding waste within
communities, and organizing activities regarding waste disposal.
Mayor Decho Khongchayasukhwat said the problems and
effects of garbage are important environmental issues with high potential in
increasing in severity. (CPRD)
