The rate of collected waste surpasses 90 percent and that of waste treated reaches 80 percent.

The model of "family incinerator" in Cha hamlet, Tong Dau commune (Mai Chau) proves effective in keeping the environment green, clean and beautiful.

To carry out tasks and measures to strengthen waste management in the locality, the district has issued many documents and plans to assign specific missions and responsibilities to divisions, boards, communes and townships to improve the efficiency of daily solid waste collection and treatment. The collection, transportation and treatment of domestic waste is assigned to the agricultural, sanitation and environmental cooperative - Mai Chau branch. On average, the amount of waste collected is more than 12 tonnes a day, of which nearly 10 tonnes is treated.

Kha Van Thanh, head of the district Division of Natural Resources and Environment, said that to increase the rate of domestic waste collection and treatment, the district People's Committee has stepped up dissemination of the Law on Environmental Protection and its guiding documents to officials and locals, implemented the socialisation of environmental protection, and initially formed some self-governed environmental models carried out by mass organisations.

In addition, the district has directed relevant agencies to guide people to classify waste at source, built portable waste tanks to classify and treat organic waste at households.

In the coming time, the district will continue to improve dissemination and education work to create a change in awareness and action of people from all walks of life on the responsibility for environmental protection and waste classification at source, limiting the use of plastic bags and single-use plastic products, and dumping garbage on time and in the right place; and promote the formation of self-govered groups./.
