BMA may charge extra for 'excess' garbage disposal

The Nation 2011-05-25

Bangkok residents may soon have pay more for the collection of their household garbage, if the new "dumpmore paymore" fee structure proposed by the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration is approved.

Bangkok deputy governor Pornthep Techapaibul said the new fee structure would boost BMA's earnings by more than Bt3 billion every year, which would be offset by the excessive costs of garbage disposal the BMA was now burdened with. He did not give details about what he considered excessive.

A citywide survey showed that an annual fee of Bt240 was collected from households, which is different from the Bt50 figure cited by Pornthep. Of the 2.34 million households in Bangkok, BMA only collects fees from 1.92 million, and Pornthep could not explain why.

The BMA disposes of 8,000 tonnes of garbage each month, relying on an extra budget shouldered by the BMA. Pornthep did not give details about how much it would cost to dispose of all the garbage without the BMA having to pay extra or how much extra BMA was already paying.
