The Urban Affairs Committee of the Da Nang People's Council visited three waste treatment sites in Đại Lộc and Hội An on the afternoon of October 22 to check why plants are not running, Báo Đà Nẵng reported. Standing vice chairman Trần Phước Sơn led the delegation.
The Hội An plant was approved in 2020 and is fully built, but it cannot start because the unit price and the waste treatment contract are still awaiting approval. Its owner asked for a provisional price until the city sets technical-economic norms and a maximum price, and asked to lease neighbouring land.
At the Bắc Quảng Nam plant in Đại Lộc, municipal waste intake stopped in September 2025. Since June 2026 the company has processed stockpiled material into refuse-derived fuel, and it expects official operation in February 2027 once investment, land and environmental paperwork is done. Sơn asked it to revise its report to cover outstanding treatment-fee debts and space for incinerator ash.
The nearby Đại Hiệp area, reopened in November 2025, takes about 50 to 65 tonnes a day from the former Đại Lộc district, and the city is preparing a phase-two upgrade proposal.
The committee said it will include a full assessment in its supervision report.
