Visiting Phu Vinh commune, the pictures of waste baskets knitted by bamboo and neohouzeaua become a living proof of the effort of the Youth members to clean the village streets and alleys. Originated from limited funding, the Youth members in the district belonged to 135 area show their "wisdom" when thinking of using bamboo for knitting bins and baskets to collect waste on the route. In which, Ngau is one of the first village to exploit this model. It is located as a central hamlet with the large area with more than 100 households. "Being the center village with schools, the amount of waste every day is quite much. Meanwhile, the local people in the village only clean out 2-3 times a year, so the village road is not in clean and clear condition. Three months ago, the Youth Union deployed the model of installing waste baskets, which has brought practical effect. The local people self-consciously put garbage into the baskets, the village roads are kept clean and beautiful, the awareness of environmental protection has been raised, "said Mr. Dinh Cong Hoang, the head of Ngau village.

In order to have waste baskets placed on the current roads, the youth members of Phu Vinh Commune were instructed to knit the baskets by the seniors in the commune. "The life span of a bamboo basket is about 3 months old; therefore, we have recently replaced some baskets. At the end of the month, the youth members will collect garbage at the baskets for burning.
