CHAPTER I

GENERAL INTRODUCTION TO THE PROJECT

1.1 RATIONALES OF INVESTMENT

At present, the Party and the City authorities pay much attention on environmental problems

and frequently direct on solutions. Satisfactory results are achieved and public awareness is

enhanced significantly. Establishment of several self-govern environmental protection models

have gradually created socialization – privatization of environmental protection activities.

This plays very important role in developing Hoi An City towards Ecological – Cultural –

Tourism City.

Though there is some good achievements, ecological environment in Hoi An still needs to be

improved, especially problems related to municipal solid waste (MSW).

- The existing dumpsite of the city is an open dumpsite, located at Cam Ha Commune, on

an area of 2 ha and overloaded. Several serious environmental problems caused by

operation of the dumpsite are occurring, for instance fly growth, leachate releases to

surrounding areas, contaminates ground water and impacts the life quality of residents

surrounding dumpsite.

- Solid wastes generated from the upstream of Thu Bon river drifting to Hoi An riverside

affect to natural landscape and cause environmental pollution. Collection of solid waste

along the riverside has been done periodically, but the improvement is still limited.

- In some poor communes as Cam Kim, Cam Thanh, collection and treatment of solid

wastes are facing to several difficulties due to poor transportation condition as a result of

uncontrolled releasing of garbage in public areas. This affects to natural landscape and

causes environmental pollution.

Therefore, in order to support these areas overcoming difficulties in treatment of MSW, it is

important to set a sustainable solid waste management system that is suitable to their socio-

economic conditions.

1.2 THE PROJECT INFORMATION

1.2.1 The Project Title and Location

- The project title: Pro-poor and Sustainable Solid Waste Management

- The main task: Feasibility Study on Pro-poor and Sustainable Solid Waste Management in

Hoi An City.

CHAPTER II

CURRENT SITUATION OF MUNICIPAL SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT

2.1 VOLUME OF SOLID WASTE GENERATION AND COMPOSITION

2.1.1 Volume of Solid waste generation

Based field surveyed results in Cam Thanh Commune, Cam Kim Commune and Cam Pho

Ward, municipal solid waste (MSW) generated from Hoi An City is estimated as presented in

Table 3.1.

1 Household wastes 193.16

2 Commercial wastes 249.17

3 Official wastes 145.71

Surveyed results of 2011 shows that about 80 ton/day of MSW is generated in Hoi An City.

This amount of waste is huge in comparison to the current situation of the existing small and

overloading dumpsite at Cam Ha Ward. The City has no land available for constructing new

central landfill. Therefore, together with modernization of MSW treatment system, it is more

important to reduce waste generation at sources. Waste treatment at source should also be

considered as a prior solution.

MSW generation up to 2025 is predicted as presented in Table 3.3.

Total 100 100 100 100

It is obviously that food refuses have highest percentage in MSW of the city and followed by

other recyclable and reusable materials such as pieces of clothes, paper, plastic, metals, etc. If

these materials are reused and recycled properly, total amount of waste generated and needed

to be treated will be reduced significantly.

2.2 SOLID WASTE COLLECTION AND TRANSPORTATION

2.2.1 Solid Waste Collection Rate

A major waste generation source is from residential areas. Average amount of waste collected

in the whole city is 82.3 m3/day (approximately 37.04 tons/day).

Every year, waste collection rate of the inner wards are as follows: collection 100% waste in

Minh An Ward, 100% in Cam Pho Ward, 90% in Son Phong Ward. In the other wards and

communes, only 65% of waste generated is collected. Especially, Tan Hiep Commune, the

town and Cu Lao Cham Coastal Reserve Management Authority have made effort to reduce

and prevent disposal of household wastes to the sea.

2.2.2 Solid Waste Collection and Transportation Mode

At present, Hoi An Public Work Ltd. Co is responsible for MSW collection and

transportation. Waste collection and transportation is managed and organized as follows:

- Household wastes: Households have to store their wastes in waste bags or bins and leave it

at regulated collection points along the roads. Very day, mechanical collection vehicle go

to the waste collection points to pick wastes up.

- Wastes from restaurants and hotels: The Company collects wastes from more than existing

70 hotels and 90 restaurants. The waste collection service has been done as good as

agreement.

- Along alleys, wastes are collected by pushcarts and then gathered at the waste collection

points along main roads for further transferring into compactor trucks.

- Along the roads, street sweeping has been done during the day time and the night time.

Swept wastes are stored in pushcarts and gathered at the waste collection points for

transferring to mechincal collection vehicles and transporting to the dumpsite at Cam Ha

Commune. The waste collection workers do not separate recyclable materials. These

recyclable materials are picked up by scavengers at the dumpsite.

- Along Hoai River, wastes floating from the riverhead are also collected by a river waste

fishing and collection team.

- At markets, as wastes are generated continuously, the Company has to install 240 L bins to

receive market wastes.

- In the public areas, along central roads, 25 L bins are installed to receive wastes from

visitors and walkers.

- At present, the City does not have special collection system to collect hazardous and

healthcare risk wastes (hospital wastes) yet. Healthcare risk wastes of Hoi An City is

collected and treated by Quang Nam Urban Environmental Company

- Collected MSWs are transported to the dumpsite at Cam Ha Commune.

- Expenditure for sanitation activities during day time and night time, along main roads

and alleys, in the river, waste-bins cleaning, earth and stone shoveling, street cleaning

and watering is 121,900,000 VND/year.

- Expenditure for waste collection, transportation and treatment is 3,916,080,000

VND/year.

* Manual vehicles:

- Jolly-boat: 3 boats (0.8 m3/boat)

- Pushcarts: 45 pushcarts (0.66 m3/pushcart)

The above equipment and vehicles can only serve about 70% of the current demand on solid

waste collection, transportation and treatment of the City.

b) Healthcare Risk Wastes

At present, heathcare risk wastes of hospitals in the City have been collected, transported and

treated at the Provincial Central Healthcare Risk Waste Treatment Center.

2.2.3 Waste Disposal Behavior and Public Demand on Solid Waste Management

Sociological surveys on 90 households at Cam Kim Commune, Cam Thanh Commune and

Cam Pho Ward are summarized in Table 3.5 and 3.6.

households have to treat their wastes themselves. This may cause heavy environmental

pollution in future.

In Hoi An City, an open dumpsite locates at Bau Oc Thuong Hamlet, Cam ha Commune,

about 5 km from the City. This dumpsite has been operated since 1992.

Current situation of the dumpsite is described in the following section. Area of the dumpsite is

about 1 ha. There is no landfill linear, no leachate collection and treatment system, and no

landfill gas collection system in this dumpsite. So far, there is not landfill gas recovery system

at existing dumpsites. Landfill gas is released freely into the atmosphere.

Every day, after collecting solid wastes in the City, the transportation vehicles will transport

wastes to the dumpsite and unload it in front of the dumpsite. Then dumper trucks will load

wastes into open trucks for further transporting into the dumping cells. Total solid wastes

received at the dumpsite are 56 tons/day.

Solid wastes are received at the dumpsite everyday two times:

- In the morning: from 7:00 a.m to 11:00 a.m.

- In the afternoon: from 15:30 p.m to 17:00 p.m.

Solid waste generation increases as social-economic development. This is a great challenge to

Cam Ha dumpsite. In fact, Cam Ha dumpsite is downgrading, and causing air pollution,

surrounding ground water pollution. Therefore there is an important and urgent need to find

out investment solutions, proper and sustainable management policies before it is impossible

to solve.

2.6 WASTE PICK-UP ACTIVITIES AT CAM HA DUMPSITE

Field surveyed results show that several scavengers are picking wastes up at Cam Ha

dumpsite. 85% of the scavengers are women. They can not find other jobs (90%). They have

poor professional skill and low educational level (85%).

These scavengers play an important role in reusing and recycling of recyclable materials and

reducing amount of wastes to be dumped or burden to Cam Ha dumpsite. However, their

working conditions are very poor and Government supporting policies from the Government

are still limited.

2.7 JUNK-SHOP TRADING

Waste materials in Hoi An are collected by scavengers in Cam Ha dumpsite and other waste-

buyers. All collected scraps are sold to small and medium scrap-buying shops within the city.

Only plastic bags collected from Cam Ha dumpsite are transferred to a plastic recycle

enterprise located in Dien Nam – Dien Ngoc industrial zone. It is found from field surveys

that Hoi An City has 7 small and medium scrap-buying shops as listed in Table 5.3.

Almost scrap-buying shops in Hoi An are belonged to household, therefore scrap trading is

done at their houses and irregular. These shops are usually small, so cleaning is paid attention

to prevent harmful to their families.

2.8 RECYCLING ACTIVITIES

None recycling enterprises are located in Hoi An. The field surveyed results indicated that

there are only few pre-recycling enterprises are available. The by-products from the

enterprises will be transferred to other (plastic) recycling enterprises within the province or in

the other provinces/city of the country.

Scrap-buying shop of Mr. Nguyen Van Luu household located in Bau Oc Ha Hamlet, Cam Ha

Commune is one of the few pre-recycling enterprises in Hoi An City. In average, this shop

buys 500 g scrap every day and after pre-treated, the by-products are sold to Ho Chi Minh

City and other surrounding provinces.

Main by-products from pre-recycling processes are plastic resins. As available facilities are

outdate, recycling activities at present cause environmental pollution to surrounding

residential areas.

2.9 COMPOST MARKETS AND AGRICULTURAL APPLICATIONS

In Hoi An City, agricultural activities are focused on rice-fields, farm products and small scale

livestock farms. Total agricultural area is 965.15 ha, of which rice fields occupy 484.62 ha.

It was found from the field observation that farmers mainly use chemical fertilizers (urea,

potassium, etc.) and organic fertilizers. None farmers use compost in their farms.

The following reasons attributed to that are as follows. Currently, at fertilizer selling agents,

none of compost products are introduced. In addition, understanding of farmers about

compost is still limited.

At present, some farmers are still producing and using a kind of organic fertilizer which is

similar to compost. For instance, mucks, seaweeds from rivers or lakes are incubated to

produce organic fertilizers and used in their farms. This is typical application in Tra Que

vegetable village in Cam Ha Commune.

3.5 FEASIBILITY OF DEVELOPMENT OF DECENTRALIZED SOLID WASTE

SEPARATION AND PRETREATMENT FACILITIES

Develop the decentralized solid waste separation/pretreatment facilities is a sustainable way

of domestic solid waste treatment and management. In one hand, it supports onside reduction

and treatment of solid waste. On the other hand, it promotes a high quality fertilizer for

agriculture production.

At present, the city is investing a centralized solid waste treatment facility including a section

of compost production. It is serving for generated domestic solid waste of city. However, the

solid waste collection net work of the city has not covered to Cam Thanh and Cam Kim

hamlets yet (transportation cost is very high).

Both of them can arrange land resource for development of decentralized solid waste

separation and composting facility. Beside, the solid waste collection “self_control” groups

have been established since 2007.

3.5.1 Allocation and capacity of decentralized solid waste separation and composting

facilities

No Hamlet Households Total amount of

solid waste Expected area

1 Cam Thanh 1,930 8.7 ton 4,000

2 Cam Kim 1,087 4.8 ton 3,000

Cam Kim hamlet can arrange 3.000 m2 for buildup the composting facility at Phuoc

Thang wards.

3.5.2 Estimated cost for develop and operate the decentralized solid waste separation

and composting facility

No Items Cost

(Million VND)

1 Consultancy and design 100

2 Construction, procurement and installation of facilities 2,000

3 Manpower mobilization and training 200

4 One year support operation cost 120

Total cost 2,420

3.5.3 Participation of scavengers at solid waste treatment facilities

Participation of scavengers at solid waste treatment facilities is very important for

segregation of recyclable waste and compostable waste.

Hoi An Solid Waste Management Baseline Survey

21

However, this job would be reduced when the solid waste separation at source

program is performed at local area. So that, the best option for solid waste segregation is to be

performed by collectors of “self_control” groups.

3.5.4 Management mechanism including parts of Public work Company and exiting

scavengers

- Concentrate on socialization of solid waste treatment, under government management

and support of public work company with professional and equipments.

- Support policy of finance and material facilities in order to create good condition for

sustainable operation of project. Beside, create a suitable mechanism for sustainable

operation of the model its self.

CHAPTER IV

CONCLUSIONS AND ORIENTATION OF ACTION PLAN

4.1 CONCLUSIONS

Cam Kim and Cam Thanh communes are two of areas, which have positive policies

for environmental management in past few years. However, related outcomes are moderated

by factors rising from social economic and natural environment. It is found that, development

of pretreatment/compost production centrals is suitable for the two areas.

People’s awareness about environment protection at Cam Kim and Cam Thanh communes is

high. Beside, “self-control” groups of municipal solid waste collection and treatment had been

established would be a solid foundation for successful of the project.

Project’s success would be of services for local areas becoming more initiative in onside

agricultural fertilizer sources. It is a sustainable way, which contributes to development of Hoi

An city – an Eco_city.

4.2 ORIENTATIONS OF FUTURE ACTION PLAN

In order to get project success, it is need to be overall carried out in local resident mobilization

and propaganda, investment of compost production facilities, and sustainable procedure and

finance.

Especially, disasters prevention and response plans should be reserved for the two communes

Cam Kim and Cam Thanh, which are low land areas. The compost plant should be portable

and sustainable structure, so that they can be moved to safe areas when disasters occur.

Location to build up compost production facilities should be far from communities. Beside,

environment protection formalities should be built for evaluation of ecological environmental

impacts, then recommend for proper mitigation solutions.

Solid waste separation at source need to be cared because of it is very important factor, which

determine the project success. On the other hand, by joining in solid waste separation at

source activities, the people awareness is rising up remarkable.

Another important point is determination of compost product’s market. A priority local

market is the best. At the beginning, government shall have price compensation policy for a

favorable consumption of compost product.

In operation of project, it is need to learn from previous exiting national and international

models, and take advantage of professional suggestion and aids from experts and international

organizations.
