Lang Son Provincial People's Committee has just approved a project to build solid construction waste treatment yards to limit the situation of illegal dumping of soil, rocks, broken bricks causing pollution and affecting the landscape.
In the period 2026-2028, the province plans to invest in 5 yards in Ky Lua ward and communes of Loc Binh, Cai Kinh, Binh Gia, Na Sam.
The locations are located near National Highways 1, 1B, 4A and 4B, convenient for collecting waste according to each traffic route.
The largest yard is located in block 9, Ky Lua ward, 5 hectares wide, with a capacity of about 250,000 m3. The yard in Bai Danh village, Cai Kinh commune is 3 hectares wide, containing 150,000 m3.
The remaining 3 yards are located in Ban Gia village, Loc Binh commune; Lien Hop village, Binh Gia commune and Lung Vai village, Na Sam commune, with a total capacity of about 500,000 m3.
The total area of 5 yards in the initial phase is 12 hectares, with a capacity of 900,000 m3. The estimated cost is about 19 billion VND, from the state budget and legally mobilized capital sources.
From 2028 to 2030, Lang Son will consider expanding the above 5 yards, and at the same time build 6 more yards in Cong Son, Dinh Lap, Chi Lang, Khanh Khe, Bac Son and That Khe communes.
When phase two is completed, the whole province is expected to have 11 yards with a usable area of about 41.15 ha, with a capacity of 4.7 million m3.
Areas with high waste generation such as Ky Lua ward and Cai Kinh commune will be prioritized for expansion.
According to the project, in 2025, Lang Son generates nearly 72.9 tons of solid construction waste per day. This number is forecast to increase to about 73.5 tons per day in 2026, equivalent to more than 26,800 tons per year.
Waste mainly includes soil, rocks, sand, gravel, bricks and broken concrete from new construction, repair or demolition of works.
Currently, the province does not have or does not have enough specialized treatment areas, while illegal dumping of waste still occurs in some public areas, traffic corridors, rivers and streams.
Lang Son sets a target to collect and treat about 90% of arising construction waste by 2030, while encouraging businesses to invest in recycling and reuse technology to limit landfilling.
