Garbage flooding the streets in Da Nang: "Vehicles entering the landfill must wait in line"

(NLDO) - Local authorities said the delay in garbage collection in Lien Chieu district was due to traffic congestion at Khanh Son landfill.

The People's Committee of Lien Chieu District ( Da Nang City) has just responded to people's opinions about the situation of garbage not being collected for many days on Hoa Nam 9, Nguyen Mong Tuan, Tong Duy Tan streets and Phuoc Ly Urban Area (Hoa Minh Ward).

The District People's Committee said that garbage collection was delayed because garbage trucks had to wait at the landfill and hoped that people would share. The District has assigned Hoa Minh Ward to inspect and handle the situation.

Garbage piled up on Hoang Van Thai street, Da Nang on June 17.

The Ward People's Committee will also regularly update the overload situation at the landfill on the Zalo group of the residential group to promptly inform the people, and at the same time recommend that the Environmental Company have a solution to collect according to regulations.

Previously, Nguoi Lao Dong Newspaper reported that many areas in Hoa Minh ward were facing a serious situation of household waste overflowing onto the streets and emitting a foul smell.

Recorded at group 127 and streets such as Tu Quy, Hoang Van Thai, Nguyen Binh..., garbage piled up on the sidewalk, even encroaching on the roadway.

The garbage collector said the transfer truck was broken and Khanh Son landfill was congested so the garbage could not be removed in time.

Meanwhile, Mr. Vo Diep Ngoc Quang - Deputy Director of Khanh Son Landfill Management Enterprise - affirmed that the landfill has been operating normally and only Lien Chieu district has had problems, which are managed by Urenco 15.

On the contrary, Mr. Ngo Le Quang – Director of Urenco 15 – said that the main cause was the landfill being clogged, causing the time to dump the garbage to be many times longer. He denied that the transfer truck was broken, asserting that it was only a minor problem and was quickly resolved.
