Condoms intended for recycling, owner claims
Play
A 38-year-old woman has claimed ownership of 1,500 kg of condoms abandoned on an empty plot in Ayutthaya's Bang Ban district.
Naput Mentong told police that she had bought poor-quality new condoms from a factory at the Navanakorn Industrial Estate in Pathum Thani. She deposited the condoms on her own land plot almost a year ago and was planning to sell them to a recycling factory in Samut Sakhon.
Naput said that she bought condoms for Bt30,000 and asked police to look for people who burned the condoms.
The presence of the condoms on the land made headlines.
While not disputing that the land is the property of the woman, Tambon Mahapram Municipality nevertheless filed a police complaint against owner of the condoms for allegedly moving items considered dangerous rubbish to the plot without permission.
The municipality initially planned to destroy the condoms in an incinerator in Bang Pa-in Industrial Estate.
Matichon reported that police charged Napat for storing hazardous waste without license.
