Ho Chi Minh City residents clean houses for Tet while dirtying streets

As everyone closes in on the Lunar New Year, residents in Saigon are giving extra care to their housecleaning, but do not seem to be paying the same attention to their neighborhood streets. Several roads and sidewalks in multiple neighborhoods across the southern hub are falling victim to illegal dumping, with locals tossing household garbage, used sofas, mattresses, and stuffed animals directly onto the roadway.
