PIA Press Release<br>
2009/12/14<br>
Escalante City reports near completion of SWM compliance<br>
Escalante City (14 December2009) -- The City of Escalante is moving swiftly to fight the global warming and climate change with the implementation of Solid Waste Management Law.
It is currently strengthening its anti-littering law in support to the waste segregation city ordinance 138 that imposes no-segregation no-collection policy, Environment Management Specialist Stephanie Pamati-an, said.
City officials are also drafting moves for the closure of the existing dump site as the new one is being developed at Hda. Amparo, Brgy. Mabini.
She said out of the 17 hectare lot owned by the city, three hectares will be utilized as dump site.
In the same area, the Escalante government will implement an intensive Vermicomposting project and a Materials Recovery Facility (MRF) will rise.
A Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) is now being worked out for the city to co-manage its garbage residuals with the City of Sagay.
