Sanitary landfill mulled in Limay

LIMAY, Bataan – This industrial town is putting up its own sanitary landfill in the next two or three years depending on its financial capability.
This was disclosed Thursday by newly-elected Limay Vice Mayor Ritchie David who is now working with his father, newly elected Mayor Nelson C. David.
The young David said the new administration is looking forward to having its own sanitary landfill so it would not depend all the time on the costly Metro Clark Waste Management Corp. Most of municipalities in Central Luzon cough up millions of pesos in terms of garbage disposal fees for lack of sanitary landfill in their areas.
Ritchie said the planned sanitary landfill would be put up in the present open dump site in Sitio Mamala in Barangay St. Francis I, Limay but was recently ordered closed by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) for failure to meet environmental requirements. Open dumpsite had long been banned by DENR.
“It was ordered closed for failure to meet basic requirements,” he said.
