Nattapol Rangsitpol, the everlasting director for business, said on Wednesday that 10- 13 box trucks were used regularly to move the tailings, and the convoys were escorted by police vehicles.

The toxic waste should have been kept in a particularly prepared waste in Tak, where it was first discovered in Samut Sakhon in early April, raising major health problems.

Bound and Beyond had agreed to let J&amp B Metal rid of the waste under a deal that required the latter to do so. Reselling the spare was prohibited by the terms, but the landlord acknowledged that he intended to do so to protect the company’s finances.

The waste will be transported to a Bound and Beyond storage facility in Tak state, where it will be appropriately landfilled by September 30. The SET-listed company, Padaeng Industry Plc, was originally known as Padaeng Industry Plc, which ran a zinc-mining firm until 2016 in Tak. It has since switched to the lodge company.
