Tourists to the increasingly popular destination of Phu Tub Berk in Phetchabun province now get empty garbage bags for their trips, as they help tackle the area's garbage problems.

When they get down from Phu Tub Berk, which sits atop a mountain, with full garbage bags, they can exchange those bags with some free eggs and tamarind.
“These are among the measures we have planned for fighting garbage problems,” Sukit Rattanaviboon said in his capacity as the head of Phetchabun Natural Resources and Environment Office.
Authorities sat down with resort operators and related entrepreneurs to plan better garbage management ahead of the peak season, which started Monday.
