Ocean debris is overflowing onto Bai Sau beach.

On the morning of November 10th, Vung Tau Urban Environmental Services and Construction Joint Stock Company (VESCO) mobilized its forces to collect ocean debris that had washed ashore along the entire stretch of Bai Sau beach in Ho Chi Minh City.

This is the first year that ocean debris is still accumulating in this area in November, whereas in previous years it usually ended by the end of October.

According to the company, the influx of trash onto the beach began in the early morning of November 10th, accumulating in large quantities along more than 3 km of the entire Back Beach area in Vung Tau and Tam Thang wards (from Phan Chu Trinh street to Paradise Tourist Area). The ocean waste included all kinds of debris, from water hyacinths and dry wood to styrofoam containers, upholstered furniture, plastic bags, and other plastic items.

According to VESCO General Director Phan Xuan Huan, the company mobilized more than 30 workers, 2 bulldozers, 2 excavators (3-5 cubic meter capacity), 2 hooklifts, and rented an additional 5 five-ton trucks to carry out the cleanup. On the morning of November 10th, the company collected over 50 tons of various types of waste. Never before has there been such a large amount of ocean debris still washing ashore on beaches in November as this year.

VESCO anticipates that garbage collection will need to be carried out continuously for two days to complete. However, the amount of ocean waste continues to wash ashore, making collection and processing difficult.

Every year, the beaches of Ho Chi Minh City are hit by 2-3 waves of ocean debris, usually ending in October. Each influx typically lasts only 5-7 days, but this year, the ocean debris has been arriving in multiple waves and has continued uninterrupted from May until now.
