The study has applied some traditional research methods to assess the current status of domestic solid waste (DSW) management and suggest solutions for DSW management in Cho Don district, Bac Kan province, Vietnam. The results showed that the main component of DSW is organic waste (72%) the total amount of DSW is 25 tons/day the average emission factor is 0.51 kg/person/day In the study area, only Bang Lung town has the largest DSW collection rate (95%). In most of the remaining areas, DSW has not been properly collected and treated. Cho Don district invested and built 01 Ban Tan waste treatment area operated by incineration and landfill technology and 03 incinerators (Dong Thang commune (0.3 tons/day), Binh Trung commune (Ban Dieng Village, Ban Ca Village)). Although the local government has made great efforts in the management of DSW, however the DSW management still has many shortcomings. To strengthen  DSW management in the study area, it is necessary to apply a number of solutions synchronously, such as: Raise awareness of the community on how to identify types of waste and the importance of sorting DSW at source perform DSW classification at source collecting all DSW generated from households effective use of existing incinerators and waste treatment facilities additional human resources and increased capital mobilization for DSW management expanding types of DSW treatment such as using biodegradable organic waste to produce fertilizers by biological methods reuse of plastic or inorganic materials enhance the inspection and supervision role of the residential community on the collection and treatment of domestic waste in the localities strengthening socialization in DSW management. Improve the capacity of the unit that directly collects, transports and treats DSW..
