"Under the government's requests, all selected districts will make their own plans to classify waste," he said. Viet added that each district would use its annual environment protection budget to implement the plan every two years. According to an official from the city's environment department who did not want to be named, the two-year pilot program, worth VND7 billion, in District 6 was unsuccessful as HCMC still lacks the facilities to transport household waste to treatment facilities. "If the city cannot make people classify waste at home the landfill operator will mix inorganic and organic waste into one pile."
