Serei Sophon 11-Hectare Landfill Project Completed, Ready to Benefit Over 12k Residents

A new 11-hectare landfill in Serei Sophon, Banteay Meanchey province, has been completed, marking a significant advancement in waste management for the province.

With a handover inspection on 20 November 2024, the project is a cornerstone of the second phase of the Tonle Sap Lake environmental management improvement initiative, supported by the Asian Development Bank (ADB).

The landfill, located in Kang Va village, Kampong Svay Sangkat, began construction on 11 December 2023 and concluded on 24 October 2024. Designed to operate until 2040, the facility is expected to benefit approximately 128,208 residents from the communes of Makak, Kampong Svay, Preah Ponlea, Teuk Thla, O Ambel, Phniet, Koh Pongshat, and Serei Sophon City.

HE Ros Vanna, Secretary of State for the Ministry of Public Works and Transport, confirmed during a recent site visit that the landfill is now fully operational. He emphasized that this project represents a vital step towards strengthening waste management infrastructure in the region.

With its capacity to enhance waste management and improve environmental sustainability, the landfill is set to foster a cleaner and healthier living environment for communities in Banteay Meanchey province. This achievement underscores Cambodia’s commitment to sustainable development and improved public health through robust infrastructure investments.
