A REHABILITATION plan is now in the works to rehabilitate the Cell 1 of the sanitary landfill in Barangay Salaan which had been shut down recently.
Rodrigo Pagotaisidro, of the Office of the City Environment and Natural Resources, said they will be working on the rehabilitation plan for the Cell 1 area for public health and environmental safety.
“It is already closed but there must be a closure plan because this is a sanitary landfill and we all know that there are waste being buried, ya tapa alya maga basura,” he said.
Adhering to established procedures of the sanitary landfill, Pagotaisidro said the closure and rehabilitation plan will include physical and post closure initiatives such as safe storage of waste, prevention of environmental pollution, securing the Cell 1 area, and maintenance of landfill facilities, soil cover, embankment, and fences.
He said landfill personnel will also be tasked to plant appropriate vegetation as well as to continuously monitor indicators of environmental pollution. The closure and rehabilitation plan will be done in coordination with the Environmental Management Bureau.
The Cell 1 of the sanitary landfill has been closed following the completion of Cell 2 recently.
Pagotaisidro said they are coordinating with local government offices and security forces to improve roads, facilities, and post detachment points in routes leading to the sanitary landfill for safe and smooth garbage collection and disposal.
Mayor Beng Climaco said the sanitary landfill project is part of the local government's efforts towards sanitation, cleanliness, and solid waste management. She said the local government will establish more transfer stations and additional materials recovery facilities to address the city’s huge garbage collection.
She also reminded residents again to separate their garbage into biodegradable materials and non-biodegradable waste and throw them to trash bins or put outside their house so it can be collected at a designated time. And asked residents not to litter or throw their garbage anywhere on the streets, rivers or sea and help the local government in maintaining cleanliness. (Zamboanga Post)
