For many years, the garbage collection point was not regulated by people and business households at Quang Trung - Tran Quoc Toan crossroads (Hoan Kiem District), making the Quang Trung Primary School to be a black spot for environmental pollution. Nowadays, the rubbish dump has become a small green garden. It was the result of creative spirit of the youth of the Capital, that creativity has given impetus to the people here to protect the environment of their own place. From the appearance of the flower garden, Mrs. Dinh Thi Kha (Tran Quoc Toan Street) and many other people do not forget to irrigate, care for flowers every morning when going out for the gym. "Since there has been the flower garden, we have not seen any garbage bags. I expect that these models will be more diffuse in the community," Kha said.

Looking at the pictures of fresh branches and leaves in the "recycled garden" in 167 Phuong Mai, Dong Da, people suspected that it was one of the first spot on the waste of spontaneous activity. However, over the past year, this place has completely been changed, dressed in new clothes with unique plants made of recycled materials. From a garbage dump to the path, this has become a green space where the elderly and young children can relax, watch flowers, water trees. In the drastic and creative way, the Youth Union has deployed youth gardens in 16 wards, changing the landscape, raising awareness of public hygiene.

Up to now, there are 14 wards of Ba Dinh District that have implemented the waste collection program wrongly defined as flower gardens. Not only turning the garbage into the garden, unionists and young people also delete the rubbish wall.
