SAN MATEO, Isabela- The local government unit of this municipality, a consistent winner in solid waste management in the entire country, has urged all residents to recycle them into Christmas decorations to be displayed at public places this holiday season. | |||
Henry Magno, municipal environment and natural resources officer (MENRO), said the town used recyclable materials like paper wastes, leaves, empty shells of snails, bottle crowns, and other recyclable materials as Christmas decors. | |||
The recyclable materials were developed into lanterns, stars and Belens displayed at the mini-park of the town near the Maharlika highway, at the vicinity of the public market and at the municipal hall compound. | |||
Magno said the town wants to show the ingenuity of the residents by recycling waste materials and turn them into captivating Christmas decors for their additional income. | |||
He said San Mateo town usually segregates waste materials from biodegradable and non-biodegradable and hazardous waste and those biodegradables are turned into fertilizers while biodegradable waste are recycled into income-generating products by the residents. The hazardous wastes on the other hand are separated and kept in concrete safety vaults at the town’s dumping site. | |||
Magno said residents in the area are taught on how to segregate wastes at the barangays and at the public market and turning them into income. | |||
The Christmas decorations out of waste materials are now an attraction at the mini-park and around the town’s public market and municipal compound. | |||
