This much waste a woman in Ho Chi Minh City allegedly had buried illegally on her a land over several months.
🚛 Backyard landfill: The woman is accused of turning an undeveloped plot in An Khanh, eastern HCM, into a private dumping site. Drivers unloaded everything from garden waste to Styrofoam and household trash for about USD 8 to 16 per trip.
🌱 Tiny payout, massive mess: In total, she is said to have pocketed just around VND 120 million illegally (about USD 4,900). In return, roughly 1,800 square meters of her 2,000-square-meter plot ended up buried under waste.
Watch: “Landfill startup” gone wrong. Tiny profits, an XXL trash problem, trouble with authorities and a not-so-voluntary stay in detention. The perfect example of: garbage in, garbage out.
