The Environmental Sanitation and Management Office (ESMO) isa carrying on their task of distributing the containerized garbage bins all over Olongapo City.
This is in line with the full implementation of the new solid waste management system in the city which commenced on April 16, 2009.
A total of 4,617 medium (240 liter capacity) and 555 large (660 liter capacity) bins were distributed to the 17 barangays including churches, schools and government offices in the city.
“Olongapo City’s CR3 project which stands for Compost, Reduce, Re-use and Recycle is now being fully implemented,” said Mayor James “Bong” Gordon, Jr. “This project will ensure the proper segregation, collection, transport, storage, treatment and disposal of solid wastes in the city.”
“Discipline is vital in making this project a success. Patuloy nating hinihimok ang lahat na ugaliin ang tamang paraan ng pagtatapon ng mga basura upang mapanatili ang kalinisan sa ating lungsod,” Gordon added.
ESMO continues to distribute more bins to private hospitals and clinics within the city. They are also considering deploying several bins on the beaches to lessen the garbage that pile up during peak season.
The said office is also studying the areas along Rizal Avenue, Ramon Magsaysay Drive and Gordon Avenue as to where the bins can be appropriately placed.
