Waste segregation scheme in the barangays

The environment and natural resources and agriculture offices of this city are now conducting pre-evaluation activities for the ecological, health-friendly search in preparation for the upcoming national evaluation.

City environment and natural resources officer Orlando Tesoro said the city is a contender to the search on independent component city category, along with 15 other cities in the country.

Tesoro said they are supervising all the 37 barangays of the city to ensure that the cleanliness, waste segregation, recycling, vegetation, gardening, and other ecological-friendly activities are properly implemented.

Tesoro said their office concentrates on the waste segregation scheme in the barangays by educating the residents on how to turn recyclable wastes into income-generating projects.

On the part of the agriculture office, agricultural technicians of the city are visiting schools and households and distributing vegetable seeds to be planted inside the schools and in household backyards.
