NEA increases anti-littering patrols after online photos of rubbish near Boon Lay MRT station


SINGAPORE – The authorities are stepping up patrols in a bid to tackle littering around Boon Lay MRT station, after photos of unsightly rubbish in the area were shared online.

In response to queries, the National Environment Agency (NEA) said on June 16 that it was aware of concerns over cleanliness near Boon Lay MRT station, and has beefed up enforcement.

Since Jan 1, the agency has issued more than 170 tickets for littering and smoking offences in the area, it said.

As part of anti-littering efforts, NEA is also working with stakeholders to place more bins along the walkway between the station and Jurong Point mall to make it more convenient for the public to dispose of litter responsibly.
