This is part of a newly-approved scheme on solid waste treatment in Ha Noi by 2030 with a vision towards 2050.
By 2020, the capital city will spend VND 3.5 trillion (US$ 157 million) on the task.
The scheme aims to collect, classify and properly treat solid waste with a view to reducing environmental pollution in the city.
Under the new plan, daily discharge of domestic solid waste in the city will be collected with around 85-100% in urban areas and 70-80% in rural areas.
Ha Noi will have three regions on solid waste treatment and build other nine solid waste treatment zones.
In Ha Noi, around 5,000 tons of solid waste is discharged every day. There are three solid waste incinerators in the city with a capacity of destroying 120-200 kilos per hour.
