Garbage Removal Operation Underway
11 July 2018
Phnom Penh: The Department of Public Works and Transport of Phnom Penh has begun the removal of the garbage in Boeung Trobek canal. On July 11, 154 trucks worth of plastic and other trash had been removed, which equivalent to about 50% of the garbage in the water.
According to Mr. Sang Piseth, the director of Department of Public Works and Transport of Phnom Penh, people will keep throwing the trash into Boeung Trobek canal until it is totally blocked, causing flooding in the rainy season, so he ordered his team to clear the garbage out of the water and take it away.

Re: Phnom Penh, “a city of garbage”; Globe article.
And here we go again - the Kohsantepheap Daily speaks out, (but is anyone listening ?) :
Phnom Penh: A heavy rain yesterday evening, May 30, 2022, washed more garbage into the drainage canal of Boeung Tumpun, which is already full of garbage. This problem requires our citizens to be responsible and "stop dumping rubbish", especially into and next to the canals and the drainage systems.
Littering in public places, blocked drains, and garbage blocking the canals is not new, especially in Phnom Penh, however, such bad habits should be abandoned.
Do not just clean your own front yard, leaving the trash in front of your house or throwing it in the ditch, because it will then cause a further problem of flooding, congestion, and pollution. These problems will then affect you and your family.
Just change your habits a little, the city will be cleaner everywhere! When you see pictures like this, what do you think?

Meanchey residents urge authorities to restore canals
Residents of Meanchey district appealed to the authorities yesterday to take immediate measures to solve sewer flooding along Stung Meanchey and Boeng Tompun canals.
Horm Huo, a resident of Chamroeun Phal village, Stung Meanchey II commune, Meanchey district, said yesterday that he has been living along the Stung Meanchey and Boeung Tumpun canals since 1979.
“Two months ago, a team from the district and Ministry of Public Works and Transport came down to clean the canal, but I noticed that the canal site was still full of mud and garbage,” he said.
He also requested the people living in Stung Meanchey II and Boeung Tumpun II communes to avoid throwing garbage in the canal which is blocking the smooth flow of water in the canal.
He added that when sewer flooding started affecting badly the businesses and travel a few years back, authorities restored the Stung Meanchey, Boeng Tompun canals. “Now everything is back to square one; the canal is filled with mud and garbage again.”
Dy Na, a resident of Sornsom Kosal village, Boeng Tompun I commune, Meanchey district, said yesterday that his house gets flooded even during light showers.
The reason, according to him, is irresponsible garbage dumping in areas near the sewers.

Re: Phnom Penh, “a city of garbage”
UPDATE
October 21, 2022
Garbage woes less, but more work needed
Garbage management in Phnom Penh is about halfway towards its goal of effective rubbish removal in the capital, as more than half of the city’s residents know how to classify and separate trash types and deposit rubbish for collection at the correct place and time, while the remainder are just careless.
The City Hall has provided good instruction on how to prepare trash for removal such as separating garbage types and depositing trash for collection at the correct time and location.
The capital’s residents, Deputy Governor of Phnom Penh Keut Chhe said yesterday, have improved immensely in identifying and separating garbage types such as kitchen waste, hard garbage, plastic trash, and organic garbage before handing it over to garbage collecting agents.
“Garbage management in Phnom Penh is not 100% successful yet because people who are from other provinces and came to work in Phnom Penh still don’t understand the proper procedures for garbage disposal, and some are careless about separating trash types,” Chhe said.
Phnom Penh typically produced about 3,500 tonnes of garbage every day which jumps up to nearly 4,000 tonnes during festivals, however, the three companies working to remove garbage quickly in the capital are Cintri Cambodia, 800 Super-Gaea Cambodia, and Mizuda Sanitation Cambodia Co Ltd.
Cintri Cambodia Garbage Collection Agent director Khiev Vuthy said yesterday that about 65% of Phnom Penh residents are disposing of garbage properly.
“Garment workers who come from provinces across the country and live in rental accommodation don’t care about the proper disposal of garbage and they always dump rubbish in the wrong place at the wrong time,” Vuthy said.

Re: Phnom Penh, “a city of garbage”; Globe article.
It's been much cleaner in most districts since they introduced wheely bins. Of course there are still areas where people throw their trash in the nearby pond and burn garbage for fun or to deter bugs or get scrap copper or something. I feel like these cultural practices are rapidly dying out now.
Silence, exile, and cunning.

If you have only one green wheelie bin how do you separate different types of garbage . Let me guess, Kitchen waste on the bottom, hard garbage in the middle, and plastic trash on the top. Should I tell my neighbours that use the same bin.
