First Road Sweeper Truck Arrived in Cambodia

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.

Well, that's progress of one sort. A mechanical sweeper isn't going to pick up piles of trash in the streets, though, and they take a lot of costly maintenance and upkeep. Still, a step in the right direction. :thumb:

Not the first road sweeper in the Kingdom. Saw a smaller one about 10 years ago. I guess it ran out of petrol.

I will confirm that, but I think I saw it about 6 years ago. The rotary brushes had worn out and they were waiting for the village peasants to make more.

Now if they can just teach the people to not throw trash everywhere. Its seems every little waterway in PP and SKV is filled with trash and the water is black. This includes the streams running into the city drinking water reservoir in SKV. A couple weeks ago I was in PP and one waterway down by the Russian Market was blocked up with trash and right by it was a garage truck (delivering?)

This is good news. Hopefully we will have a cleaner and nicer city.

well done Cambodia!
Here in Pattaya the still use humans consisting of seven workers who get driven around in a grey pickup by a female supervisor who does sod all except stand and watch and issue orders to the staff regarding how to brush leaves away. Each one is costing 300 baht the day in minimum salary (I don't know what supervisor earns) but that's at least 2400 baht a day.
