An extra 150 workers would be hired to collect the garbage mounting up at flooded areas in Bangkok from November 10December 31, Governor Sukhumbhand Paribatra said Tuesday.
The Corrections Department would enlist some prison inmates to help with this work.
Rangsan Pinthong, director of the Pollution Control Department's Waste and Hazardous Substance Management Bureau, said the city had asked his office for cooperation in managing garbage disposal during the flooding, so both would set up a joint committee with other agencies to take on this task.
