Cleaning Hanoi in a new way
The image of local government workers cycling around Hoan Kiem Lake to collect rubbish has become more familiar to Hanoians.
 |
| Since June this year, the Hanoi Urban Environment Company has assigned staff to ensure the area around Hoan Kiem Lake remains clean. |
 |
|
A bike with two 50-litre dustbins on each sides |
 |
| Environmental staff work from 8 am to 4 pm every day |
 |
| Every day, two workers continuously cycle around Hoan Kiem Lake. Each circuit takes about 30 minutes |
 |
 |
| They put small rubbish into the dustbins on the bike, while bigger waste will be put into dustbins on streets |
 |
|
This replaces using the brooms to sweep the street |
 |
| Hoan Kiem District has 25 rubbish collecting bikes |
 |
|
Cycling to pick up rubbish expected to raise the public awareness on environmental protection. Their uniforms call for the public to be more aware of littering |
