Garbage collection fee up for review

A WEEK after the Davao City Council passed on final reading the amendments to the 2017 Revenue Code, specifically on the service charge for garbage collection, Councilor Danilo Dayanghirang requested for its review.

Dayanghirang, who heads the committee on finance, ways and means, and appropriations, said Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte-Carpio and the City Environment and Natural Resources Office (Cenro) requested for the review of the ordinance.

"They were asking for the meantime to recall the ordinance to study the figures and its impact to the income of the city," the councilor said in his privilege speech Tuesday, August 27, at the City Council.

Under the passed ordinance, it will lower the tipping fee from P3 per kilo to P2 per kilo of garbage dumped at the sanitary landfill in Barangay New Carmen, Tugbok District.

"This is from the request of the small garbage haulers. This is just a very minimal request from them that will also help them for their profit," Dayanghirang said in a previous report.

This was in response to the complaint of various group of private trash haulers and recyclers on the P3 tipping fee for the sanitary landfill.

Meanwhile, City Council secretary Charito Santos said the ordinance has not yet been transmitted to the Office of the City Mayor, and that the council could still review the ordinance.
