STARTING next month, the local government unit (LGU) of Tuburan in northwest Cebu will no longer collect unsegregated waste.
The LGU stated that it will begin enforcing its "No Segregation, No Collection" policy on August 1, 2023, emphasizing that garbage trucks would only collect trash that had been divided into solid and non-solid waste.
This is because the machine that recycles trash will begin to operate in the town.
This is the government's way of reducing the pollution and helping to preserve the environment.
Starting next month, the municipal garbage collectors will pick up the biodegradable waste in the morning and the non-biodegradable waste in the afternoon.
The local government hoped that the community would cooperate and comply with the rule to obtain a cleaner, more orderly environment.
"Atong suportahan ug sugdan sa atong tagsa-tagsa ka panimalay, aron palibot nato limpyo ug puy-an nga haruhay kay sa Tuburan, walay hugawan," the LGU said.
(Let's support and start in our individual homes to make our environment clean and to live comfortably because in Tuburan, there is no “untidy person”).(ANV, TPT)
