PHNOM PENH: Smart waste collection through the mobile app "Smart Clean Siem Reap" was launched as a pilot project in four villages in Siem Reap town’s Slakram commune on Wednesday (June 5).

Local authorities from the village and the provincial administration, along with the German Corporation for International Cooperation (GIZ) under the support of the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA), chose a street behind Po Lanka Pagoda to carry out the pilot due to the large number of residents, which has caused experienced waste management issues in the past, commune chief Khieu Sort told The Post on June 6.
