SUBIC BAY FREEPORT—The planned closure of a sanitary landfill in Capas, Tarlac, which takes in waste from hundreds of localities in Central and Northern Luzon, as well as thousands of industrial clients including hospitals from as far away as cities in Mindanao, is raising a stink here, as business operations are expected to be greatly affected.
“However, it will be big problem for us if Metro Clark won’t be able to find an alternative SLF for the disposal of some 60 to 65 tons of residual waste generated daily in the Subic Bay Freeport Zone,” dela Llana added. While 42 percent of the waste produced in Subic is recycled, most, or a total of 58 percent, are directed to the Kalangitan landfill.
As of now, some one million tons of waste are being processed each year at the Kalangitan landfill, the MCWMC said. These include garbage from 32 local governments in Pangasinan, 24 in Nueva Ecija, 16 in Pampanga, 12 in Bulacan, eight in Zambales, and six each in Bataan and Benguet. Speaking at a forum organized by the Capampangan in Media Inc. at the Clark Freeport, Danny Abadilla, president of Clark Sanitation Services, said shutting dwn Kalangitan would render thousands of hospitals in Luzon “stuck and helpless” with mounting volume of hospital waste each day.
