Cambodians burn most of their trash.  Since they use a lot of Styrofoam and plastic bags, these materials get burned as well.

PBOC has started a program to collect toxic materials. 

This is our first recycling collection center being built.

Requirements:

• Ecologically friendly
• Simple to operate 
• Low cost
