According to records of Lao Dong Newspaper reporters, in recent days, in neighborhoods and garbage collection points in the central wards of Thanh Hoa province, congestion has continued to occur. Even at some points in Hac Thanh ward, garbage is piled up in large piles, with a strong stench.
As Lao Dong Newspaper has reported, it is not until now that the above situation has occurred. Previously, at the end of 2025 and the early days of 2026, waste has repeatedly surrounded neighborhoods and collection points.
After each congestion, local authorities and garbage collection units have intervened, offering temporary solutions to handle it. However, after only a short time, this situation recurs.
Recorded on the afternoon of April 3, in many streets in the central area of Thanh Hoa province, garbage is still piled up on sidewalks and roads for many days but has not been collected.
Notably, at the garbage collection point next to Hoi An Park, in front of the Provincial Labor Culture House area, garbage piled up in large piles, stretching and spilling onto the road surface, affecting people's lives, activities and travel.
Mr. Nguyen Khac Dung (resident in Hac Thanh ward, Thanh Hoa province) said that in a short time, garbage congestion has occurred many times. There are piles of garbage right in front of people's houses, not collected for many days, the stench rushes straight into the house, causing discomfort.
Very frustrated but I don't know how to reflect it, I just hope the local authorities and functional sectors will soon have a definitive solution. We cannot let the situation of congestion continue after just being treated. To build a green - clean - beautiful city, waste treatment must be fundamentally and long-term concerned" - Mr. Dung said.
According to research, the reason for the accumulation of waste in the past time is that many landfills in the province are overloaded, including Dong Nam landfill - the largest landfill in the province. In addition, the waste treatment plant here (which receives waste from central wards) has not been able to receive more because the amount of accumulated waste has not been completely treated.
Talking to a reporter of Lao Dong Newspaper, a representative of Hac Thanh Ward People's Committee confirmed that the situation of garbage congestion has been going on for many days. The reason is that some landfills cannot receive garbage.
Faced with the above situation, the ward has allocated funds, worked with some landfills and reached an agreement. On April 3rd and 4th, it is expected to collect and transport the amount of accumulated waste in the area" - a representative of the Ward People's Committee informed.
Also according to a representative of Hac Thanh Ward People's Committee, the current waste treatment is only temporary and there is no long-term solution. When the receiving unit encounters problems or stops operating, the congestion situation recurs.
