Organized by Pattaya’s Natural Resources and Environment Office on March 25, the event aimed to ensure adherence to waste management guidelines outlined by the Ministry of Interior. Attended by officials, waste bank managers, and residents, it served as a platform to acknowledge the collective efforts in waste bank implementation across Pattaya.
