Led by Pol Gen Veerachai Songmetta, the national deputy police chief, the officials searched the compound of Jongsing Company’s trash separation factory in Klong 8 and found many big bags containing electronic trash mostly computer parts.
An examination of the firm’s license showed that the company has a license to separate general trash and not electronic trash which is regarded as a violation of the law, said Pol Gen Veerachai, adding that the proprietor of the facility is liable to two-year imprisonment and/or a fine of 200,000 baht.
The national deputy police chief said officials would investigate if electronic trash was sent to other factories for separation.
