Kampong Cham province will soon have a new standardized landfill on over 10 hectares of land in Koh Rokar commune in Kampong Siem district, while the provincial authorities are currently studying preparations for construction.

Kampong Cham Governor HE Un Chanda on Wednesday 25 August during a site inspection that through the initial inspection and study, the working group considered two locations, the first in Kang Meas district and the second in Kampong Siem district.

However, after a detailed examination, the location in Kampong Siem district is state land with a size of 10 hectares that meets the standard of the Ministry of Environment for construction of a landfill.

Based on actual site studies, the location is also far from people’s homes, which does not affect the environment.

Kampong Cham province does not have a standardized landfill. To date, the province is still using the old site of the Cintri Company landfill in Bos Khnour commune in Chamkar Leu district.

However, given the increasing waste in the province, a new and improved landfill is required.
