The City Environment and Natural Resources Office (CENRO) that the sanitary landfill in Barangay New Carmen, Tugbok in Davao City will only last until next year.
DAVAO CITY – The City Environment and Natural Resources Office said on Thursday, Sept. 17, that the sanitary landfill in Barangay New Carmen, Tugbok here will only last until next year.
“The situation now at our sanitary landfill is that it’s nearly filled up. But with the efforts of our team to rehabilitate and compact it, we were able to extend its lifespan. For now, it can last until 2023,” Reyes said. Reyes said local authorities decided to expand the landfill instead of opening another landfill in a different location.
She said only 33 out of 182 barangays here have material recovery facilities because other villages do not have vacant lots to host MRF for their recyclables.
