If people segregate their garbage, that will decrease the garbage. Diverting paper, food waste, recyclable bottles/cans will decrease the amount of garbage. But I imagine there's still going to be garbage that has to go to landfill/dumpsite since people keep producing and buying non-recyclable garbage. So if they close Irisan, where's all that garbage going to go?
Hi Wil,
I know and I always wonder why we can't do such a simple thing as garbage segregation.
I think they're bringing the garbage to Pampanga according to some reports.
Update on this issue is here. Looks like Irisan dump is already full, or at least will be in less than a year. The search for a dump/landfill has begun....
Hi Wil,
Thanks for linking to the update :-)
