Previously, Lao Dong Newspaper had many articles reflecting the environmental pollution situation in Can Tho City of a constructive nature, contributing to pointing out "bottlenecks" in non-synchronous waste treatment infrastructure, discharge pressure on river and canal systems, affecting urban aesthetics, people's health,... along with recommendations and solutions from localities, functional sectors, and experts.
Currently, it is easy to see that in Can Tho City, waste sorting at source according to regulations has not been implemented synchronously and thoroughly. This is considered one of the reasons causing difficulties in environmental management and solid waste treatment.
