Through review and adjustment, the large volume of public services tendered or ordered in 2016 was reduced from 10-25% of the implementation cost against 2015, event 35% in some districts, such as Cau Giay. In addition, the volume of public service implemented by the Department of Construction saved VND 29,687 billion for the city’ budget (reducing VND123.587 in environmental sanitation maintenance, equal 29.21%; VND 174.109 billion in maintaining parks, trees, equal 40.14%).

Strengthening the mechanization has met the quality of products in accordance new standards of the capital city. In particular, the Hanoi Green Tree Park Company, a leading unit of applying the mechanization in carrying out the city’s public services, has been equipped with 12 forklifts, 2 cranes, 4 tree crushers, walkie talkies, reflective clothes, etc. Therefore, the tree trimming task has been implemented more scientifically. In 2016, the Company cut, trimmed nearly 50,000 trees.

Similarly, the Hanoi Urban Environment Company has promoted the mechanization in waste collection, treatment. The company replaced waste collection machines, equipped more tens of road sweepers, contributing to saving labor and production cost, overcoming environmental pollution.

Hanoi People’s Committee has directed and implemented some appropriate solutions to improve efficiency in using funds for maintenance of parks, trees and environmental sanitation.
