According to the report of the Department of Agriculture and Environment, the whole province currently generates nearly 2,700 tons of household waste every day, of which about 79% is collected and treated, the rest has not been collected according to regulations. In addition, there are currently 22 temporary landfills in the province, mainly concentrated in the northern region.

Regarding treatment infrastructure, the whole province has 12 projects for treating domestic solid waste, of which 8 projects are receiving waste, the remaining 4 projects have been approved for investment and are completing related procedures.

At the meeting, a representative of the Department of Agriculture and Environment said: The progress of waste treatment projects for power generation is still slow, causing difficulties in coordinating waste between localities. This leads to a backlog of waste, the emergence of many temporary landfills, and the potential risk of environmental pollution.

To overcome the difficulties, the Department of Agriculture and Environment proposed that the Provincial People's Committee assign the Department of Construction to preside over and coordinate with relevant departments and branches to review, update and integrate the planning of solid waste transfer and treatment infrastructure into the provincial planning. The Department of Industry and Trade shall preside over reviewing the allocation of power generation capacity and the adjusted contents of waste-to-power projects compared to the National Power Development Plan, and at the same time update it into the provincial planning. The People's Committees of communes, wards and towns urgently review and report to the Department of Construction on the planning and investment of domestic solid waste transfer stations for early operation.

Concluding the meeting, Vice Chairwoman of the Provincial People's Committee Nguyen Thi Hoang said: The Resolution of the 1st Provincial Party Congress, term 2025-2030, set a target that by 2030, the rate of solid waste collected and treated to ensure standards and regulations will reach 97% for urban areas and 90% for rural areas. To achieve this goal, it is necessary to synchronously deploy solutions from management, planning of treatment areas to investing in projects applying modern technology. Along with that, it is necessary to invest in building a system of transfer stations, ensuring effective waste collection and treatment.

The Provincial People's Committee leaders requested the Department of Agriculture and Environment to synthesize the difficulties and problems of the projects and the recommendations of investors, on that basis, advise the Provincial People's Committee on appropriate solutions, in order to improve the effectiveness of environmental protection work in the province.
