‘The trash just floats away’
http://www.phnompenhpost.com/national/t ... loats-away
Along a riverbank in the capital yesterday, garbage was strewn in a thick carpet 12 metres across and 10 metres long, spilling down from the embankment’s crest and directly into the water below.
A similar site had provoked outrage just a day before, when a video showing workers sweeping trash from the Water Festival directly into the Tonle Sap river went viral. But for residents of Derm Sleng, a village in the capital’s Chbar Ampov district that remains off the garbage collection radar, such a sight has been the norm for years.
shame really, seems to be just a way of life.

From the article the government/authorities obviously need to do more by placing rubbish bins everywhere and having Cintri collecting and disposing of rubbish more regularly/reliably.Bertros wrote:

You can't really even start a 'Clean City' or "Keep Cambodia Clean' programme without that in place first. A Cambodian friend of mine was bemoaning how dirty his country is, just last week.
