In their desire to help in the mitigation and lessening on the volume of garbage every day, the Bontoc Market Vendors Association (BOMARVA) started the advocacy on proper waste segregation and decomposition of collected garbages especially at the market vicinity.
The BOMARVA members informed Mayor Pascual Sacgaca about the organization's move to help in the waste management at the market as they asked assistance and support for the implementation of their garbage segregation and decomposition project.
The members earlier voluntarily dug out a compost pit at a private property of BOMARVA president, Ms. Paula Acofo. They will be using some element for faster decomposition. The decomposed output shall be used as a fertilizer by the members.
The mayor signified the support of the municipal government on the initiative of the said organization which is in support to waste management which is among the priority agenda of the administration.
Sacgaca immediately directed the laborers and garbage crew under the construction and maintenance unit of the Municipal Engineering Office to coordinate with the members of the BOMARVA for the scheduled hauling of waste from the market.
According to Acofo, they needed the assistance of the laborers to carry and haul the garbage because most of the members of the organization are elderly. She added that the garbage are properly segregated because all the vendors are informed on the proper waste segregation and that all the containers have their own labels. Further, Soledad Kittong, member of the organization, is also working out and sharing her knowledge in proper waste management.
