According to the announcement of the Construction and Public Works Investment Project Management Board of Bao Lam district to communes and towns in the district about the temporary suspension of collection and transportation of household waste. The suspension period is on August 11 and 12.
The reason given was that the unit's 3 garbage trucks were seriously damaged. Therefore, this unit notified communes and Loc Thang town to propagate people to keep trash at home to ensure environmental hygiene and urban aesthetics.
Through research, it has been shown that currently, the Management Board of Construction Investment Projects and Public Works of Bao Lam district has 3 garbage trucks. Among them, 2 old cars and 1 new car have just been invested and purchased by Bao Lam district since the beginning of 2024.
According to residents of Bao Lam district, the waste stagnation has been happening for more than 10 days. Garbage stagnates everywhere and smells bad, posing a potential risk of disease outbreaks affecting people's lives.
It is worth mentioning that currently, the dengue fever epidemic situation is becoming extremely complicated in the area. Flies and mosquitoes will have an environment to grow from these piles of unclean waste, so the risk of dengue fever increasing is very large.
