Environmental Services — District 7

Periodic collection of industrial daily waste costs 1,500,000 - 3.000.000đ – 90.000.000đ per month, depending on the volume of waste generated and collection frequency (daily, every other day, or weekly). Small factories with under 100 workers typically fall at the lower end, while larger facilities with multiple waste streams needing sorting pay more. Providers on vServe quote a specific price after surveying the actual waste volume on-site.

Under Decree 08/2022/ND-CP, investment projects classified as Group I and Group II (high or medium-high environmental risk) must prepare a full Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) before receiving a construction permit. Group III projects only need to register or obtain a simpler environmental permit, without a full EIA. Businesses should determine which group their project falls into before choosing the right service.

Preparing an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) file costs 40,000,000 - 450,000,000 VND per file, depending on project scale, the number of assessment topics, and site complexity. Providers typically need around 360 minutes of on-site survey before drafting the report, and the full process from survey to a file ready for appraisal submission usually takes 2-6 months depending on complexity.

An EIA is prepared before a project is built, forecasting environmental impacts and proposing mitigation measures; an environmental permit is issued to a facility that is already or about to operate, setting specific requirements for discharge and waste management during operation. Under the 2020 Law on Environmental Protection, the environmental permit has replaced several older sub-permits such as the discharge permit. Preparing an environmental permit file typically costs 10,000,000 - 200,000,000 VND, lower than an EIA.

No. vServe only verifies a provider's tax code and business registration certificate when they list on the marketplace; it does not check hazardous waste treatment licenses, environmental monitoring certifications, or other professional licenses held by individuals or companies. Before signing a contract, businesses should ask providers directly to present the relevant licenses to ensure legal compliance.

The frequency of periodic environmental monitoring is specified in each facility's environmental permit, typically every 3 or 6 months depending on the type of production and environmental impact level. The cost of one monitoring round ranges from 3,000,000 to 90,000,000 VND, depending on the number of sampling points (wastewater, air emissions, noise) and the number of parameters analyzed in the lab.

Response time depends on the individual provider and geographic distance, but emergency environmental incident response services on vServe typically require an on-site assessment within about 180 minutes of the request to evaluate the pollution level before starting cleanup. Costs range from 15,000,000 to 300,000,000 VND per incident, depending on severity, affected area, and the type of pollutant (chemical, oil, wastewater).

Outsourced wastewater treatment system operation costs 8,000,000 - 50.000.000đ – 480.000.000đ per month, depending on treatment capacity in cubic meters per day and the system's automation level. Small factories under 100 m3/day with semi-automated systems are usually at the lower end, while large facilities requiring 24/7 operation and continuous monitoring fall at the higher end of this range.
