The Phnom Penh Capital Administration has issued 13 new waste management rules for all Phnom Penh residents to follow, with non-compliance resulting in punishment, business suspension, or being sued in the worst case.

Among the 13 rules, the important one is the requirement for all residents in boreys, owners of businesses, supermarkets, public markets, private owned markets, commercial centre buildings, hotels, and hospitals to have their waste bins and manage their trash properly.

Meanwhile, the administration also suggests all residents separate trash if possible into dry waste and wet waste.

The implementation will begin from 1 November 2021 onward. Below is the full announcement.
