According to the reporter's records on the morning of December 22, the Dien Chau coastal dike, the section passing through Tien Tien hamlet, Dien Kim commune, was flooded with garbage, stretching about 500 meters. The garbage occupied almost the entire path for people on the dike. Photo: QA

It is known that the above amount of waste is mainly dumped by people. Photo: XH

Dien Kim Commune authorities confirmed the incident and said that the locality had erected signs prohibiting dumping in this dike area, however, many people still secretly littered. This is also a "hot" issue in local voter meetings. In the coming time, Dien Kim Commune will direct hamlets to set up patrol teams to handle and remind violators. Photo: XH

Similarly in Dien Kim commune, the coastal dyke in Dien Bich commune is also flooded with garbage. Plastic bags containing garbage were thrown on the dyke slope on the morning of December 22. Photo: QA

In Dien Ngoc commune, the pollution situation is even more severe when tons of household waste are dumped along the dike, passing through the hamlets of Dong Loc, Yen Thinh, Hai Ly... People passing through this route every day must always wear masks to both prevent the Covid-19 epidemic and cope with the strong stench. Photo: QA

There are many non-biodegradable plastic bags on the dike, falling into the mangrove forest next to it in large quantities. According to the people of Dien Ngoc commune, recently, the commune has directed the forces, union members, and youth to clean up this area, but just a few days later, the garbage flooded back. This problem has been going on for many years but has not been thoroughly handled. Photo: XH

It is known that most of the coastal communes of Dien Chau have contracts with environmental companies to transport garbage to Nghi Yen commune, Nghi Loc district for treatment. However, many cases of illegal dumping of garbage at the wrong collection points have caused many coastal roads to become increasingly polluted. It is also very difficult to catch them red-handed because the subjects secretly dump garbage at night or during off-peak hours.
