BACOLOD City – Another list of villages that violated Republic Act (RA) 9003, or the Ecological Solid Waste Management Act of 2000, was submitted to the Environmental Management Bureau (EMB) of the Department of Environment.
Vice Mayor El Cid Familiaran, head of the Solid Waste Action Team, said members of the Solid Waste Enforcers/Educators Team (SWEET) passed a new list to at the EMB on Jan. 26.
A total of 11 barangays were included in the list. They were 20, 8, 14, 35, 22, 12, 7, Cabug, Estefania, Granada, and Alijis.
According to Familiaran, the barangays failed to implement the “no segregation, no collection” policy of the city.
The city government started implementing the policy since September last year.
A list of 15 barangays that violated the policy was earlier submitted to the EMB.
Familiaran said the EMB will call the attention of the barangays. The EMB will possibly impose penalty on them, he added.
On the other hand, SWEET members have yet to apprehend violators of the city’s solid waste management policy pending their training schedule at the EMB.
Familiaran said the names of the SWEET members have already been passed to the EMB.
The training of SWEET members is pursuant to RA 9003. It is a requirement before SWEET members can arrest violators./PN
