On the morning of February 24, records of Lao Dong Newspaper reporters at garbage collection points in Hac Thanh ward, Thanh Hoa province showed that environmental workers are urgently collecting and transporting the amount of garbage accumulated for many days.
Talking to PV, a representative of the leaders of Thanh Hoa Environment and Urban Joint Stock Company said that for many days, people in Dong Quang ward have blocked garbage trucks from entering the Southeast landfill, causing waste to accumulate in the central wards of the province.
Up to now, it is the 4th time people have blocked garbage trucks from entering the Southeast landfill, causing garbage to accumulate. Especially, this time the blockade took place right during Tet, when the amount of garbage generated increased sharply, so the volume of accumulation was larger" - the business representative informed.
According to this representative, the unit has worked with some other landfills in the province to handle the amount of garbage congested in the central area. Up to now, the collection and treatment are basically temporarily stable.
Currently, the Provincial People's Committee is directing the Department of Natural Resources and Environment to coordinate with relevant units and localities to arrange collection and treatment points for waste generated in the coming time.
Previously, at the end of 2025, the situation of garbage accumulation and piling up in central wards of Thanh Hoa province also occurred. The reason was that the Southeast landfill was overloaded, people blocked vehicles from continuing to bring garbage into the landfill, causing environmental pollution.
