Koh Samui’s Bulky Waste Market on August 2829, 2025, was a huge success, with residents bringing old mattresses, sofas, and more to keep our island clean. This event, part of the Local Volunteer for Environmental Protection Project, showcased community teamwork for a greener Koh Samui!
Koh Samui, let’s keep our island beautiful! Dispose of your hazardous waste like old light bulbs, batteries, and spray cans for FREE at designated locations from July 2330, 2025.
Koh Samui is empowering residents through a new household wastewater management training! This initiative helps locals, including Village Health Volunteers, learn to build grease traps and protect our island’s pristine environment.
Burning yard waste releases toxic particles that threaten our health, but innovative solutions like composting and leaf recycling can transform waste management. By collaborating locally, we can turn fallen leaves and branches into a valuable resource that protects our air and enriches our gardens.
Help protect Koh Samui’s beauty by following the ban on open burning and keeping our paradise clean for all to enjoy! Let’s preserve the future of this tropical gem together. KohSamui EnvironmentallyFriendly NoOpenBurning 🌴🌞🚫
