Abstract

Survey results in 72 mechanical manufactures in Ho Chi Minh City, in conjunction with related studies show that the charge of industrial solid waste – hazardous waste treatment is operated in two forms: fixed or progressive based on the generated volume. Price of collection - transportation - storage - treatment - landfill for each waste composition is widely varying (5-20 times), depending on the agreement between production facilities and service units. Price is not yet able to handle the relationship with the treatment technology, treatment level to be achieved as well as the correlation to the transported distance and the extent of hazardous waste. Methodology for calculating the costs of industrial solid waste treatment by burning method is initially set. Treatment costs per ton of industrial solid waste of the mechanical industry are determined. The formulas are specifically built for each case of emissions, corresponding to different levels of load transportation.
