According to a quick report from the company's leaders, this garbage collection point normally collects 100 tons of garbage per day/night, but these days the amount of garbage has increased to 400 tons. Nghe An Urban Environment and Construction Joint Stock Company is managing 550 staff and workers and collecting 320 tons of garbage per day/night, with the peak near Tet reaching more than 1,200 tons of garbage.

To ensure environmental sanitation requirements for the city, the Company has implemented plans to collect and treat waste before, during and after the Lunar New Year. In particular, the Company's workers must also collect Covid-19 waste from units, families and individuals with Covid-19 patients. To ensure the safety of workers and the community, environmental sanitation workers must carry out a separate collection and treatment process for Covid-19 waste.

Here, the Standing Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee encouraged and shared with the workers on duty. Giving gifts to the workers, comrade Nguyen Van Thong wished them and their families good health.

Sharing with the nature of the work of the Company's workers, Mr. Nguyen Van Thong said that people still do not have a high awareness of environmental protection and waste collection. This makes the work of sanitation workers and environmental workers more difficult and arduous.
