3. Methodology
For this article, data on waste generation in Ho Chi Minh City was collected from the Division of Solid Waste
Management (DOSWM) of the Department of Natural Resource and Management (DONRE), Ho Chi Minh City.
As shown in Figure 1, there are two landfill sites in Ho Chi Minh City, namely, PhuocHiep (Zone 1) and Da Phuoc
(Zone 2). These landfill sites are equipped with heavy duty truck weighing machines. The weight of waste generated
in Ho Chi Minh City was determined by subtracting the weight of truck without-waste from the weight of truck
with-waste.
