When was the last time you were in Phnom Penh? It's a lot cleaner now than it's been in many years.

Yep I noticed it was cleaner, rubbish bins around instead of dumping your rubbish in a pile on the street, much better

Has any of you visited a so called "solid waste treatment facility"? Hell on Earth.

Just to add a bit of positivity, I see a few bins on the riverfront in Kampot and even see people on occasion ride their bike up to the bin and toss the trash in it instead of dumping it on the ground.

That being said, there's still plenty who do that too, but it's a start!

A month ago. Cleaner, for sure. Clean? Not a chance. Maybe in another 10 years. The "toss it out the window" mentality is still largely in effect.

There's plenty of people in Australia and NZ who bypass the bins and dumb thier rubbish on the ground, some people are just pathetic.
Yes it's encouraging, if you provide the bins most people will use them.

Maybe you should take your holidays in Singapore?
