In recent years, the environmental pollution caused by a large amount of domestic solid waste generated in localities across the country is a challenge that governments of all levels, sectors and localities need to focus on solving. In order to make a substantial change in the domestic solid waste management, improve environmental quality and contribute to improving the quality of people’s lives, the Vietnamese Goverment is actively implementing specific activities to strengthen the management and recycle of domestic solid waste throughout the country. Besides, in the current legal documents, there is still a lack of guidance on appropriate technology selection and technical guidance on domestic solid waste collection, storage, treatment and recycle. Solid waste recycling activities are still scattered, spontaneous and lack the management and control of the competent authorities on environmental protection in the locality. The majority of recycling facilities are small in scale, the level of technology investment is not high, the majority of technologies are outdated and the machinery and equipment are obsolete, which causes environmental pollution. This article focuses on the challenges of recycling domestic solid waste in Vietnam. It also provides causes and recommendation to amend and supplement regulations related to recycling domestic solid waste in Vietnam
