Ho Chi Minh City has announced updated service prices for the collection, transportation, and treatment of domestic solid waste, set to take effect from June 1. This move aims to streamline and standardize waste management costs across the city, as specified by the municipal People's Committee.

The new regulations cover a detailed pricing structure based on the volume or weight of waste generated, applicable to households, businesses, and other entities. For Thủ Đức City and districts, the fees are:

• For waste up to 126kg per month: VNĐ61,000 ($2.3) for collection and VNĐ23,000 ($0.9) for transportation.
• For waste between 126kg and 250kg: VNĐ91,000 ($3.5) for collection and VNĐ34,000 ($1.3) for transportation.
• For waste between 250kg and 420kg: VNĐ163,000 ($6.3) for collection and VNĐ60,000 ($2.3) for transportation.
• For waste over 420kg per month: VNĐ485 per kg for collection and VNĐ180 per kg for transportation.

For Bình Chánh and Củ Chi districts:

• Up to 126kg: VNĐ57,000 ($2.2) for collection and VNĐ19,000 ($0.7) for transportation.
• 126kg to 250kg: VNĐ85,000 ($3.3) for collection and VNĐ28,000 ($1.1) for transportation.
• 250kg to 420kg: VNĐ152,000 ($5.8) for collection and VNĐ49,000 ($1.9) for transportation.
• Over 420kg: VNĐ453 per kg for collection and VNĐ147 per kg for transportation.

For Hóc Môn, Nhà Bè, and Cần Giờ districts:

• Up to 126kg: VNĐ57,000 ($2.2) for collection and VNĐ23,000 ($0.9) for transportation.
• 126kg to 250kg: VNĐ85,000 for collection and VNĐ34,000 ($1.3) for transportation.
• 250kg to 420kg: VNĐ152,000 ($5.8) for collection and VNĐ60,000 ($2.3) for transportation.
• Over 420kg: VNĐ453 per kg for collection and VNĐ180 per kg for transportation.

In addition, large waste producers will incur a treatment fee of around VNĐ420 per kg. The rates exclude value-added tax, which will be applied according to existing regulations.

This new uniform fee structure signifies a change from past practices where fees varied by district due to individually set rates. The revised policy aims to ensure consistency across the city, enhancing overall efficiency in waste management.
