wastes and some even throwing with unwrapped bags as they travel on their
motorcycles and cars.
The Gewog
reminded that it is also the house owners mandate to provide the Bins for their
tenants.

the parents were also told to advise their children not to throw everywhere and
the Gewog to further remind the school management if they could also remind the
students on morning Assembly or other periods.
The Gewog

and papers) after having packed and tightened properly in sacks so it is easier
for the disposal or unload from the collection center later on.
The house

wastes or to empty the wastes from the collection center to the Municipal
Truck.
