To ensure the smooth manual collection system, over 800 workers are deployed and actively collecting waste in eight khans of Phnom Penh by sweeping boulevards/streets and picking garbage at public places.

140 drivers for 138 trucks consist of compactor trucks and arm roll trucks in associated with over 350 push carts are available to operate cleaning and transporting waste at all operating areas. This transport system is dynamically loading the garbage amounting to 1,200 tons a day to the dumpsite where situated about 16 km outside of the city.

The Waste Collection Schedule has been sufficiently prepared and distributed to local authorities to ensure local residents widely aware of collection time. This schedule helps local residents package, keep and take out their garbage at the right time. The schedule also indicates the shifts for which the Company arranges to operate efficiently and effectively. These shifts are night and day. The night shift is generally more preferable to day one as result of avoiding waste jam, impacting resident health and commercial transactions.
