Koh Samui Municipality to outsource waste disposal
SURAT THANI, 24 May 2016, (NNT) - The Municipality of Koh Samui has recently held a public forum to hear solutions to its waste disposal problem, which has become increasingly severe.
In attendance were government officials, members of a committee on garbage management, and members of the public affected by the problem.
The committee suggested three approaches to solving the issues, which include hiring a private company to manage garbage disposal within Koh Samui and moving garbage disposal outside of the area. The last option under consideration was to have the municipality procure waste disposal machinery and manage the problem by itself.
The forum voted to hire a private company to transport and manage waste outside of the city, concluding that this was the most environmentally friendly option available.
