In an effort to encourage people to sort their household waste, the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration ( BMA ) is scheduled to renew its garbage collection fees in June.
According to lieutenant governor Jakkapan Phiewngam, the town council unanimously approved the draft legislation for garbage collection fees on October 30.
The new legislation would take effect 180 days after it was published in the Royal Gazette, according to Mr. Jakkapan on Tuesday.
The current management deems the flat rate of 80 baht per family excessive. The new legislation will exchange it.
Mr. Jakkapan urged all related BMA officers to thoroughly research the new law in order to help increase awareness about the importance of household waste isolation and help explain how to type garbage at house.
Additionally, the law aims to encourage public involvement in managing homes ‘ spend, which will have an impact on their fees for trash collection.
If their misuse is organized or paid a monthly payment of 20 baht or 60 baht in accordance with the new payment schedule, families that produce less than 20 litres or four kilogrammes of spend each day will be charged either.
A monthly payment of 120 ringgit will be applied to households that consume more than 20 litres or four kilogrammes of waste but only one square meter or 200 kg of it each day.
According to Mr. Jakkapan, places that produce more than one square meter or 200 kg per day will be charged 8, 000 ringgit per cubic meter.
He claimed that separating manufacturers ‘ trash would help them reduce the amount of waste and the costs would be slashed in response to the fact that producers who produce large amounts of waste, whether separated or not, would be charged according to the weight and volume.
Residents may sign up through the BKK Waste Give mobile phone software or in people at their neighborhood district office to take part in the garbage-sorting initiative.
According to Mr. Jakkapan, participants must provide evidence of waste management in their homes in order to get the lower cost.
The BMA is even considering additional membership websites, such as via garbage collection soldiers and the BMA’s established site, Mr Jakkapan added.
