The city opted to cancel the contract with ARN because of the unresolved environmental and legal issues or permits by the landfill.The rebidding of the budget has been opened to other private haulers on Thursday, July 18, and will undergo the bidding process once again, with the contract going to the lowest bidder.
Labella will also have a meeting with the chiefs of the 80 barangays in the city on July 24 to discuss garbage collection, which he said should not be hampered by recent events.The city government has an existing contract with Jomara to collect the city’s garbage and to whom lies the responsibility to find a final disposal site.
This, despite the city government cancelling the P65 million waste disposal contract that was awarded to ARN during the previous administration.“If Jomara cannot really find the final disposal site, we will allow them to dispose garbage in Binaliw, but they are not allowed to accept garbage from other local government units. I cannot really allow Binaliw to operate as a landfill because the health concern is of general welfar,e and the area is really not fitted .
