New Year's Eve of the street beauticians

While people gather with family and loved ones to welcome the New Year, environmental workers are still working hard and quietly in the dark, contributing to keeping the streets clean and fresh for Spring.

At Hoa Xuan market and Hung Vuong square, Viet Tri city, about 20 workers are concentrating on processing and collecting a large amount of waste, racing against time to complete transporting the waste to the treatment point before dawn.

Mr. Ha Ngoc Kien, Deputy General Director of Viet Tri Urban Environment and Services Joint Stock Company, said that during the peak of Lunar New Year, the amount of garbage doubled compared to normal days, about 400 tons/day. The company mobilized a total of 341 sanitation workers to work continuously, through New Year's Eve to process the garbage. The staff determined that this was their duty, so everyone arranged their family work to complete the job with peace of mind.

Ms. Pham Thi Tuyet Mai has been in the profession for exactly 20 years. She said that in the past, the amount of garbage was not much, so there were years when she could celebrate New Year's Eve at home. However, in recent years, the amount of garbage has increased, so all the employees of the company have to work through Tet. "We have to finish all the garbage so that the city can be clean tomorrow before we can go home."

Large amounts of garbage are collected continuously at entertainment areas, however, environmental workers still have to wait a long time to be able to clean up completely in these areas because of stalls that are still open even though it is 1am.

On New Year's Eve, sanitation workers felt warm when receiving encouraging gifts from the board of directors.

Even though they cannot celebrate New Year's Eve with their families, environmental workers are still happy because they know that their work is very important, helping everyone's Tet become complete and clean.

Sharing their wishes for the new year, the women shared the hope that each citizen would raise their sense of responsibility for littering and waste classification. Everyone should clean up and collect waste early to facilitate collection, for a green, clean, and beautiful living environment, which requires the cooperation of the community.

After the fireworks display to welcome the new year ended, while people were returning home, the workers of Viet Tri Urban Environment and Services Joint Stock Company continued their work in the cold weather, they worked enthusiastically and urgently to make the roads and alleys clean and beautiful again.
