Hanoi faces littering problemHanoi only introduced fines for littering from February 1, but few locals are aware of the new regulation. In front of Trang Tien ice cream shop on Trang Tien Street, customers drop the ice cream sticks on the pavements despite the nearby rubbish bin and warnings from staff. Nguyen Thi Hoa, an employee of Hanoi Urban Environment Company said, "Many people are indifferent when they see rubbish on the streets. I actually have seen foreigners pick up the litter on the streets and throw it into the rubbish bin. Nguyen Thanh Tung, a local in Ha Dong District, said the decree should be carried out gradually.
