A NEW zonal garbage collection system created by the Bacolod City Solid Waste Management Board and private collector Enviroking Corp. was announced by Executive Assistant Ma. Fe Trespuentes yesterday.
Included in the separate collection are routes along Burgos Streets, downtown area, Magsaysay Street, Taculing Road, Mabini and Galo Streets, the span of Lacson Street, San Juan Street, B.S. Aquino Drive, Sum-ag and Tangub Highway, and Circumferential Road and Burgos Extension leading to Barangay Vista Alegre.
The zonal collection is a collective answer to the complaint of many city residents on irregular waste collection.
