Waste sorting a money saver

The Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) is inviting city residents to join its new waste-separation campaign, "This House Doesn't Mix Waste", which offers discounts on trash-collecting fees for sorting waste properly.

Registration begins on Aug 1 ahead of the official rollout in October. The initiative includes private sector collaboration and offers exclusive privileges for participants.

Bangkok governor Chadchart Sittipunt officially announced the 80-day countdown yesterday for the implementation of a new waste-collection-fee system.

Residents can register either as individuals and in groups.

Individual registrations are reserved for houses or properties that produce no more than 20 litres of waste per day. Eligible residences include single-family homes, housing estates, and condominiums or flats without juristic persons. Owners or tenants can register via the BKK Waste Pay Pay mobile application or website.
