On June 20, in an exchange with a reporter from Lao Dong Newspaper, a representative of the leaders of Hac Thanh Ward People's Committee, the central ward of Thanh Hoa province, said that the collection unit had finished treating the amount of garbage congested on roads and neighborhoods before.
All accumulated waste has been collected and transported to the garbage dump area in Nghi Son, dozens of kilometers from the province center. It is expected that the garbage collection situation will temporarily stabilize for a while, because this garbage dump is large-scale and has the ability to receive large quantities of garbage" - representative of Hac Thanh Ward People's Committee informed.
Also according to this representative, although the collection and temporary treatment of waste has stabilized, it is still highly passive. If the landfill area encounters problems, waste in Hac Thanh ward may continue to be congested.
Previously, the landfill and waste treatment plant at Dong Nam landfill, Dong Quang ward, was a place to receive waste not only from Hac Thanh ward but also from many other localities. However, since the landfill had to close due to overload and pollution, waste congestion has continuously occurred.
In addition, at the Southeast landfill, there is a factory of Ecotech Environmental Technology Investment and Development Joint Stock Company, with a treatment capacity of hundreds of tons of waste per day. However, recently, this factory has continuously suspended operations, making waste treatment even more difficult.
Previously, as Lao Dong Newspaper reflected, in mid-June 2026, in Hac Thanh ward, there was a situation of congestion of domestic waste on many roads and neighborhoods.
Even at some collection points, garbage is piled up in large piles, with a strong stench. Typically, at the garbage collection point next to Hoi An Park, garbage is piled up in large piles, stretching out, spilling onto the road surface, affecting people's lives, activities and travel.
The situation of garbage congestion in Hac Thanh ward is not new. Previously, at the end of 2025 and the first days of 2026, garbage repeatedly surrounded neighborhoods and collection points. Then, in the first days of April 2026, garbage continued to accumulate in this area.
After each congestion, local authorities and garbage collection units have intervened and implemented temporary solutions to handle it. However, after only a short time, this situation recurred.
