Happy Rats
Happy Rats
Now 3 days without trash pickup in many neighborhoods. Piles of garbage are soon blocking the roads and the smell is getting unbearable. I am assuming another CINTRI and government pissing match? The rats and flies are happy. Anyone know why?

Re: Happy Rats
CINTRI workers were on strike for a pay rise, but (I think) it's supposed to be sorted. Probably take a while for them to catch up.
That said, a trash pickup every three days sounds good from here in Sihanoukville. And apart from the household rubbish which is usually collected whenever, we also have mountains of trash dumped on the roadsides, which will probably never get picked up because it hasn't been paid for. Beautiful Sihanoukville.
(And yes, very happy rats.)

Re: Happy Rats
I didn't notice any difference in my area. The main places that get clogged up with garbage are the areas where residents just chuck all their crap in a pile at the end of a lane or where vendors throw it somewhere adjacent to the market. These people are irresponsible slobs and deserve to swim in shit, unfortunately it also affects other people nearby.

A bit much to call people irresponsible slobs when all they are doing is putting the rubbish in a heap where there should be a big jumbo bin.
Now the Cintrie workers will spend half the day picking up the mess.

Like the spoilt child she is, she will not be happy till she destroys herself from within and breaks your heart.

Re: Happy Rats
A lot of people live in areas inaccessible to the garbage trucks so they just throw it in a pile on the nearest main road.

Re: Happy Rats
I thought this thread was going to be about a restaurant selling barbequed rats stuffed with ganja.

They have all ready been introduced to jumbo bins they just have to learn that when they are full they have to be emptied..

Re: Happy Rats
No. As the photo shows, these are many areas where they normally put the trash out at the street edge and it is collected by CINTRI every day/night. Now nothing. On some streets (130, Phasr Kandal)) it is 5-6 meters out towards the street center almost blocking car access.John Bingham wrote: ↑Sat Dec 29, 2018 7:54 pm A lot of people live in areas inaccessible to the garbage trucks so they just throw it in a pile on the nearest main road.
