Many garbage dumps have appeared in Hanoi's alleys, even though the regulation imposing fines of millions for illegal littering has been in effect for 5 months.

| Household waste dumped haphazardly by people and not collected promptly appears on many streets in Hanoi, causing loss of urban beauty and environmental pollution. |
 |
| The landfill at the beginning of lane 389, Truong Dinh street (Hoang Mai). From February 1, the act of throwing household waste on sidewalks, streets, into the urban wastewater drainage system or into the surface drainage system in urban areas will be fined from 5 million to 7 million VND. However, until now, littering is still a "daily occurrence" in Hanoi. |
 |
| On both sides of Tan Mai street, there are many large and small piles of garbage gathered on the roadside. |
 |
| A spontaneous pile of garbage grows on an electric pole and wall at a three-way intersection along the Nghi Tam dike. |
 |
| Littering happens frequently along alley 22/104 Au Co. "The alley is already small, and many people litter. There are no public trash cans here, and my house next door always has to endure the stench, especially on hot days," said a resident. |
 |
| Garbage spills out onto the street at alley 310/81 Nghi Tam street. "Every day at 3pm, janitors ring the gong to every corner to collect garbage, but not every family is home at that time, so this makeshift garbage dump was formed," said Mr. Nguyen Van Hung. |
 |
| Garbage piled up in the prohibited area. |
 |
| Sanitation workers struggle with the "mountain of trash". |
 |
| Every day at 7 p.m. in the Old Quarter, specialized vehicles go to each street to collect trash. "There's a lot of trash, we work hard every day, without any time to rest," said a worker. |
