The province is deploying the projects of two waste treatment zones in Vinh Cuu district’s Vinh Tan commune and Long Thanh district’s Bau Can commune which are estimated to put into operation in early 2014.

Once put into operation, the plants at nine waste treatment zones will treat and recycle daily garbage, contributing to increase the ratio of the hygienic treated garbage in the province.

In addition, Dong Nai will eliminate 29 temporary rubbish dumps in the province to protect the environment.
