Nongprue trash collectors cleaned up garbage dumped illegally near the Mabprachan Reservoir.
Mayor Winai Inpitak, his deputies, subdistrict security and sanitation workers descended upon Siam Country Club Road Feb. 9 where the rubbish was dumped on a vacant lot.
In response, Nongpure officials put up a “no littering” sign, although Deputy Mayor Wanchai Sanngam admitted dumpers ignore such things.
More patrols are promised with anyone caught subject to a 2,000-baht fine.
The same day, sanitation workers also had to clean up an illegal dumpsite behind Pattaya Village.
Wanchai said the area has been a common dumpsite. Part of the problem is people who come there to feed stray dogs then throw their plastic bags and other litter on the ground.
