Treñas seeks help of barangay dads on proper waste disposal
City Mayor Jerry Treñas has called on all barangay captains in the City Proper to do a "house to house" campaign to address the problem on garbage.
Treñas said there is a need to teach the people of the proper system of garbage disposal. The mayor observed that garbage especially in the city proper are not properly disposed and collected.
Lots of garbage are left in the garbage collection areas after the collection period or the scheduled pick up time of the garbage collectors. It was observed that people still dump garbage even after the collection period. Garbage collectors also usually do not pick up the garbage bag if the wastes are not segregated.
Treñas said he will meet the barangay captains of the city proper regarding the problem. Also to be invited in the meeting are Engr. Raul Gallo of the city government's Office of the Public Services (OPS) and the representatives from the Solid Waste Management Board (SWMB).
The board is in the forefront of helping the city's garbage problem, said Treñas.
