Besides, there were solid wastes, that are paper, scrap, metal, and plastic, could be recycled and reused. Results of the surveyed households showed that there were many activities to reduce solid waste, such as waste classification at source, recycling and reuse, covert organic rubbish into compost or animal feed, etc. From the Probit model, the factors affecting the behaviour of domestic solid waste reduction at households in Dien Chau town included age, gender, and awareness of households on domestic solid waste reduction.
