Under the Solid Waste Management Program, barangays are encouraged to set up their Material Recovery Facility. However, some barangays with no available lots to place the MRFs opted to fabricate mobile garbage bins to collect wastes.

The mobile garbage bins will be attached to the barangay’s multi-cabs and do rounds in their respective barangay to collect solid wastes. Garbage collection will be synchronized with the municipal garbage truck collection such that waste collected will be brought to the Municipal dumpsite.

According to Municipal Environment and Natural Resource Officer Cornelius Yanga, the recipient barangays will still implement the “no segregation, no collection” policy. (sjdb_mio)
