City Hall met Wednesday to discuss the trash on Walking Street, and no, they weren’t making snide comments about bar patrons—they’re trying to find a way to improve rubbish collection throughout the entertainment district. City Deputy Sutam Petgaid chaired a meeting between city officials and the   Meuang Sa-ard Company, the private contractor hired to collect the massive amount of rubbish produced by tourists and businesses each day. Both are eager to improve the clean-up methods currently employed.

The company’s garbage trucks usually make 3 runs a day in the area, which is not enough. The company proposed adding one more round for a total of 4 pick-ups a day, confident that 4 rounds would be adequate to keep the Walking Street area clean. City officials were not so sure, however, and further meetings have been scheduled to work on the trash trouble.
