LGU renews drive on proper disposal of solid waste

Mayor Ricardo M. Camacho has ordered renewed intensification of the drive for proper solid waste disposal in the poblacion area and in the barangays.

This renewed campaign follows up implementation of the Municipal Anti-Littering Ordinance of 2000 and the Comprehensive Solid Waste Management Ordinance of 2008, both enacted by the Sangguniang Bayan pursuant to Republic Act No. 9003, otherwise known as the Ecological Solid Waste Management Act of 2000.

The local government opened the new drive with distribution last month of copies of a four-page Isang Quick Guide sa Solid Waste Segregation sa Bayambang pamphlet.

The reading material contains the important provisions of the applicable laws, including the penalties and sanctions provided for violations thereof. Audio announcements from roving vehicles supplemented the distribution of the reading materials.

This month, the local government ordered a personalized information drive starting in 11 barangays --- Cadre, M. H. del Pilar, Magsaysay, Poblacion Sur and Zones I to VII.

The 11 barangays were divided among four teams who underwent orientation on solid waste management and  garbage segregation pursuant to the applicable laws. The four teams are headed by Rosema Caranto, Sheryl Cayabyab, Magno Bautista and Luz Cayabyab.

After the orientation, the four teams went house-to-house in their assigned barangays and explained to the residents the proper disposal of their solid wastes.

The information drive will be replicated in all of the barangays of the municipality.*
