520 _aFor many years now, recycling has been evolving in Hanoi as a network of occupations and relationships within open and competitive markets. It has developed as a response to fluctuating demand for materials, to seasonal and periodically high needs for cash income, and, to a lesser extent, to the pressures of urban re-development. In recent years, environmental awareness campaign has also contributed to the growth of recycles. Primarily, however, recycling is serving as a means for flexible income earning opportunities, by supplying producers with a low-cost source of materials and the city with an almost no-cost means of reducing the amount of refuse requiring disposal. In Dong Da district, there are two systems in waste recycling: one is formal and the other is informal. The system managed by URENCO involving waste collection and disposal can be called the formal system and other. The other - the info1mal - is made up of host of labour and enterprise groups who make a living by tuning waste as a resource. The households are central in all this as waste generator and as source of household waste - the focus of this study. This study investigates awareness towards recyclable among households and explores the process of the collectors (formal: collection crew and info1mal: junk buyers, street ragpickers and dumping site ragpickers) to passing the recovered wastes to the recycling shops (both formal and informal) and to the intermediaries i.e. wholesalers (formal). The latter then supply the recovered materials to the manufacturing units located in the suburban of Hanoi which use the recycled items as raw materials to reduce product costs. Materials processed include paper, plastics, glass, iron and aluminum, etc. The extent and strength of this whole process depend on the demand of these processed products. The research finding make it very clear that: (i) the role of junk buyers provides a strong incentive to household to separate their waste and save it for selling and recycling, (ii) the presence of the street ragpickers and dumping site ragpickers provides a further incentive for retrieving waste from the primary collection points as well as the final disposal sites, (iii) the business of the recycling shops facilitate convenient selling of scrap material by the waste collectors, (iv) the business of wholesalers smoothen supply of the recovered materials to be used as raw materials by the manufacturers for producing new product. Waste recycling will succeed, if it has the cooperation of all involved (i.e. government, municipality, NGOs or private sector, and communities) in the society. Some recommendations are made for improving the waste recycling by supporting the formal and informal linkage in the existing waste recycling of Dong Da district. Also included a set of public action measures for reducing the health hazard to the poor informal labour groups engaged in tuning wastes into resource
