Cintri Garbage Company to be Nationalized Says PM

Cambodia news in English! Here you'll find all the breaking news from Cambodia translated into English for our international readership and expat community to read and comment on. The majority of our news stories are gathered from the local Khmer newspapers, but we also bring you newsworthy media from Cambodia before you read them anywhere else. Because of the huge population of the capital city, most articles are from Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and Kampot often make the headlines as well. We report on all arrests and deaths of foreigners in Cambodia, and the details often come from the Cambodian police or local Khmer journalists. As an ASEAN news outlet, we also publish regional news and events from our neighboring countries. We also share local Khmer news stories that you won't find in English anywhere else. If you're looking for a certain article, you may use our site's search feature to find it quickly.

Every time our landlord puts out bins, they get stolen.

Because of the shortage of rubbish bins they have a value and are worth stealing. Give everyone a rubbish bin ,,, free of charge, thieves get two,,,,then they will not be worth sealing.
Cambodia,,,, Don't fall in love with her.
Like the spoilt child she is, she will not be happy till she destroys herself from within and breaks your heart.

I know the mega corp Waste Management generally provides bins for an entire city when they get the contract. They deliver them to key spots in every district and people stencil their address on them at the pickup site and roll them home. For a small fee, you can buy a second one.

The weighing machine would issue a receipt showing , time, date, load weight and truck number , and they would be paid for that,,,into a bank account ,, by handing receipt into the rubbish management company.


Failing that , why not throw all our rubbish into the Mekong and let the Vietnamese sort the problem out.
It was going so well until the last paragraph

Precisely! If they are free and plentiful they will have no value. Also, just make all bins Government property and if you are caught with one being used as anything othet than a bin (such as a washing machine, a transportation device or a house )you get a year in Prey Sar.

The bin outside my place is used by a few households, it was a dirty , half-busted basket but was stolen a few times. So for the past month or so there was a pile of garbage on the ground. Some people just toss loose garbage instead of putting it in bags so it ends up in a bad state. The collectors only pick up the bags and leave most of the crap there. There is one neighbor who cleans it up sometimes but it gets in a mess again really quickly.
Yesterday he bought a new bin made from old tires, I'm guessing it won't last long.
Silence, exile, and cunning.

That can be seen everywhere around town now. Worse is when you walk through a street where they just cleared the pile. The surface smells terrible and is a real health hazard.

Good move to nationalise it.............it's working so well that I thought Cintri was just on a Pchum Ben type holiday.

Usually better to have a plan of action before you end a contract and nobody seems to want to do anything.
