Factors Affecting the Classification of Domestic Solid Waste in Cho Moi District - Bac Kan Province

This article studies factors affecting household waste classification in Cho Moi district, Bac Kan province. The author uses information collection methods, field surveys and statistical information processing methods. The results obtained: the volume of domestic solid waste generated in the whole district is about 38 tons/day. The study area includes 3 communes, of which Nong Ha commune has the highest volume of solid waste generated at 3.9 tons/day. The entire district has 1 garbage collection vehicle, so the collection truck comes to each commune twice a week. If the vehicle has a problem, there will be no other vehicle to collect it. The fee for household waste treatment is 4,000 VND/person/month. If they throw away trash, that household will pay. Women often sort trash more simply by keeping the items so they can sell the junk and add some money to the family. People under the age of 30 tend to know and care about waste classification more than other ages. The proportion of people who have never heard of waste regulations accounts for 60.48%, while those who clearly understand the regulations are 60.48%. determined to only account for 3.81%. When it was announced that they would be fined if they did not classify their trash, the people here were extremely calm because they believed that no one would know whose trash bag belonged to the pile and who would be fined.
