| This was originally a garbage collection point after the historic flood on October 16-17. However, it had not been cleared for a long time, and people from other places had come to dump more garbage, causing the landfill to grow higher and larger, causing serious environmental pollution.

| With no roads, cars and motorbikes climb onto the sidewalks to drive, leaving long trails of trash stuck in the wheels. Just this morning, a car climbed onto the sidewalk and damaged the electric meter box, so Ms. Ha had to stretch ropes and hang signs to stop it. Photo: Thanh Cuong |

| Mr. Nguyen Hoang Manh - Chairman of Vinh Tan Ward (Vinh City) said that the landfill is located in the area of Hong Son Ward. "The ward has also notified the environmental company to collect the garbage, but because there are too many locations, it is not possible to collect it in time. Moreover, the garbage in this area is partly due to the flood, but mainly due to the surrounding people throwing it there" - Chairman of Vinh Tan Ward added. Photo: Thanh Cuong |
