BACOLOD City – Fourteen garbage shredding machines were turned over to the city government yesterday.
The machines, supplied by the RU Foundry and Machine Shop Corp., will be used in the collection and disposal of garbage in the city.
Today, the Solid Waste Action Team (SWAT), led by Vice Mayor El Cid Familiaran, will meet with the representatives of the 61 barangays in the city.
The Department of Environment and Natural Resources, the IPM-Construction Development Corp. and the RU Foundry and Machine Shop Corp. will also attend the meeting.
The IPM-Construction Development Corp., the city’s contractor for garbage collection, will explain the process of gathering waste from barangays, including subdivisions, said Familiaran.
The RU Foundry and Machine Shop Corp, on the other hand, will demonstrate how to control the shredding machines.
Familiaran said the barangays that will host the machines will be chosen after the demonstration.
The “no segregation, no collection” policy will start on Friday, Sept. 1./PN
