Waste classification at source needs solutions to suit each locality: experts
All households in Việt Nam are expected to separate their solid household waste and place it in trash bags; failure to do so could result in fines of between VNĐ500,000 and VNĐ1 million. But as the search for appropriate solutions to classify waste at the source is still a challenge for many areas, especially for major cities like Hà Nội and HCM City, this rule is not usually well understood, even by garbage collectors.
Some experts have said that the sanctions imposed are unreasonable and not in the right context due to the lack of proper policies and solutions.
