Nuoc Hai is the town has a population is quite crowded with a total of 10 population groups, the amount of waste generated daily large, so that garbage collection team only 18 people. Through the investigation to interviews the sanitation worker said: the average of per person per day collecting two garbage handcart, Furthermore some hygiene staff when asked about their current salary are enjoying is very low, no preferential regimes such as insurance, etc. So the enthusiasm in the work is not high. Before this situation requires branch of urban Environment to implement preferential policies for employees, in addition to a number of people also require local governments have supported the regime for sanitation workers (the fee due to the loss health due to the nature of regular career must contact with hazardous matter) in order to attract and maintain personnel involved in sanitation team, ensuring benefits to their employees for enthusiasm, seriously in the work.
Also on the main roads on communes far the town and agencies, schools, markets are arranged many public trash. Garbage in the bins are workers pressed garbage driving to unloaded directly onto the vehicle and transported straight to Khuan Tung landfill to burying. Overall, currently the work of collector’s garbage in Nuoc Hai town is done in the form of primary collection.

The collection teams are 18 participants in the process of collecting and transporting of domestic waste. Including labor contracts with a term of salary is only about 1.2 million VND/ person/ month. With this level of income is too small and cannot require the commitment of forces to collection, by the majority of this family situation more difficult, in addition to their collect time must be to work overtime to earn income, life assurance, etc. The process of collecting domestic solid waste (DSW) in Nuoc Hai area towns - Hoa An is collected occur in the following diagram:

According to the statistic of urban environment branch in Hoa An, the number of domestic solid waste is collected in area was only ratio achieve 75-80% of the total amount incurred, primarily in the inhabitants groups favourable on route, populated areas, areas of the People's committee of town, central market and some office. Rest of thinly populated areas, far from the center and a number of agencies, offices domestic solid waste are collected and burned, but not thoroughly and infrequently, usually only 1 to 2 times per month and each time so the smoke, dust and smell of burning plastic, plastic bottles very uncomfortable, affecting the landscape and the lives of people. This requires must be overcome if not will become a habit, leading to widespread, spontaneous, etc.
In summary, the work of the town's collection is also downright sketchy;
