MANILA, Philippines – Malabon Mayor Jeannie Sandoval assured her constituents on Thursday that the local government struck a deal with the management of the sanitary landfil in Rodriguez, Rizal which allowed the city to dump its trash there after the landfill in Navotas closed down.

“I am now reassuring my constituents that there is no need to worry that we can experience possible garbage crisis in the city after the closure of the Navotas sanitary landfill where Malabon dumps its trash,” Sandoval said.

“We have anticipated its closure and we were able to find a quick solution by closing a deal with the Rodriguez sanitary landfill in Rizal and we trust our private haulers to carry out the tasks,” Sandoval told The Manila Times.

City Administrator Alexander Rosete, in a separate interview, said Malabon has its own transfer station where the garbage collected all over the city was hauled by several big trucks before its disposal into the Rizal landfill.

“We make it clear that the new system would not give any additional cost to the city coffers as it is part of the city government’s contract with the private haulers,” Rosete said.

The two top city officials then appealed to residents to cooperate with the local government in its clean and green program by doing their share of practicing segregation and not wantonly throwing garbage elsewhere.
