| Mr. To Duy Hien - Chairman of the People's Committee of Quynh Nghia Commune said that the land of the spontaneous landfill is on the border between Quynh Nghia Commune and Tien Thuy Commune. This land is not planned to be a local landfill, but during Tet, local people arbitrarily dumped garbage there, causing the garbage to accumulate for a long time after Tet, possibly because the waste collection company could not handle it in time.
