Smell becomes unbearable as trash piles up at Kampong Chhnang market

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.

Smell becomes unbearable as trash piles up at Kampong Chhnang market

Kampong Chhnang Province: Tensions are rising as the uncollected market garbage is being trampled on by residents and vendors in Market 5, Or Russey district, Kompong Tralach district, Kompong Chhnang province, creating a possible health hazard for all users of the market.
In addition, the market is held on the side of National Rd 5 where many vehicles stop for food and refreshment, and the smell has become so unbearable that it drives away the customers.

In a case similar to the recent problems of garbage removal in Banlung, there is conflict over who is responsible for the mounds of stinking market rubbish. The authorities blame the owner, and the owner of the market is blaming the garbage company. Meanwhile, the stinking piles of trash mount up daily.

I thought the Vietnamese on those boats in the river were the polluters. Surely order has been restored now that they have gone.

I've just returned from cleaning the roadside in front of our home. Some people can't wait to dump their trash at the market.

Anyway I am curious to know what you hold those "few exceptions" to be.
As my old Cajun bait seller used to say, "I opes you luck.
