The Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) is organizing an event called “Scheduled Drop-off and Collection of Large Waste” to be held on 7-8 November 2026 GMT+7 covering 30 districts allowing free disposal of old furniture, electrical appliances, and broken items to promote waste separation.
Residents in designated areas should place items at the curbside drop-off points before 8:30 a.m. District officials will collect waste from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. on the scheduled dates.
The Bangkok Metropolitan Administration will dispatch staff to collect large waste in targeted areas on these dates, dividing operations over two days by district office zones as follows.
Residents are advised to sort large waste before disposal, such as furniture, electrical appliances, and sports equipment longer than 1 meter, which should be cut into shorter pieces. Heavy items should be separated, and small pieces should be bundled neatly. Prepare ID cards to show to officials (utility bills can be used as alternative ID).
1. Bring waste to the designated drop-off points
2. Provide identification to verify ownership
3. Officials will collect and transport the waste to disposal sites at no charge
Additionally, for those with large amounts of bulky waste or located far from scheduled points, services can be requested from the sanitation and park departments of each district office for a fee as per official regulations. Scan the QR CODE to contact sanitation departments in all 50 districts.
Warning: Improper disposal obstructs Bangkok's drainage system and violates the Cleanliness Act, punishable by a fine of 2,000 baht. Dumping outside containers or designated points incurs a fine of 10,000 baht. Disposing waste into waterways is punishable under the Criminal Code, Section 380.
For those interested in the “Scheduled Drop-off and Collection of Large Waste” project by BMA on 7-8 November, be sure to prepare and check the locations in your districts to use this service.
