Domestic solid waste management status in Na Ri district, Bac Kan province, Viet Nam
Abstract
The study has applied some methods to assess the current status of domestic solid waste (DSW) management in Na Ri district, Bac Kan province, Viet Nam. The results showed that the total amount of DSW is 7,800 tons/year, the organic waste rate is 71.38%. The rate of collected and treated domestic solid waste is 5,402 tons/year, reaching 69.25%. The main method of treating domestic solid waste in the study area is burial or burning. Na Ri district currently has 03 incinerators (located in Yen Lac town, Con Minh commune, Tran Phu commune). The DSW management still has many shortcomings such as lack of human resources and equipment for collection and labor protection; many localities do not have DSW collection points and have not yet implemented environmental protection fees for DSW. The authorities of some communes have not given strong direction, inspection and supervision work is still limited, so the treatment of waste at the incinerators has not followed the correct process; Domestic solid waste has not been classified at the source, so the treatment and classification at the incinerator is very difficult; Funding to support the waste collection and treatment working group is still low.
