Cagayan de Oro City

SWMSituations

- calculated through the waste collected and received in Carmen Dumpsite

- estimated by counting the number and type of trucks entering the dumpsite

Therefore, the data can only be considered an approximate value of waste

Waste Category (percent share)

Segregation and Material Recovery Facility (MRF)

• 1999-2001, Barangay Gusa, Lapasan & Bugo pilot barangays under Local Environmental Planning & Management

• Gusa became the national awardee on their best SWM practice

Currently:• Barangay Basura Livelihood Project & MRF under

the ICM for barangay Gusa, Lapasan & Macasandig

• Establishment of MRF funded by EMB

COLLECTION AND TRANSPORT

LGU

BAI

IPM

• Collection of solid wastes from commercial and industrial establishments is not covered by the present private contractor

Cagayan de Oro Mangaycayay Landfill Association (Carmen Dumpsite)

• 77 cooperative members

• About 700 garbage pickers

• 317 families

Informal Sector on Recycling

DISPOSAL SITE

• 17 hectares total land area

• 1.9 M cubic meters estimated capacity

• 4.0 M cubic meters estimated waste deposited

LGU-CDO submitted a Safe Closure and Rehabilitation Plan (SCRP) last May 2010 but have not implemented the components of the SCRP

• Long overdue controlled dumpsite

- Section 37 of RA 9003

• Authority to Close (ATC)

- Issued on June 2, 2010 by EMB-10 to institute components of the closure and rehabilitation of the dumpsite

• The tipping fee is set on PhP 300 for 6 wheeled trucks and PhP 500 for 10 wheeled trucks, although only waste originated outside CdO pays for disposing the waste in the dumpsite. (Ord. No. 11556-2009)

MEDICAL WASTE DISPOSAL FACILITY

• Environmental Compliance

Certificate (ECC) issued on

January 2013

• Permit to Operate of 1 unit

Pyroclave issued on

December 2013

• Operating without a TSD

pursuant to RA 6969

As the truck unloads their collected waste the scavengers heap to get any valuable

item

Gases are produced from the waste as evidenced by continuous burning and smoke generation

Proposed Sanitary Landfill

Ordinance No. 12081-2011 declaring the 34-Hectare Land located at Sitio Pamalihi, Pagatpat

In summary:• No approved Solid Waste Management Plan

• No proper segregation and waste reduction strategies at household level

• Data on waste generation is estimated on the basis of truck entering in the dumpsite. There is no field study of waste generation at household level that are illegally dumped in the creeks and drainage or burnt by the local residents

• Inefficient collection (compounded by poor coordination between waste generators and collectors)

• No specific treatment of solid wastes including medical waste

• The current disposal site is overdue (Section 37 of RA 9003)

RECENTLY:

• City Solid Waste Management Board (CSWMB) organized thru an EO No. 066-2014EO-Organizing the CSWMB II11.doc

• Creation of TWG with sectoral representationResolution - TWG.docx

• Crafted the Revised Safe Closure and Rehabilitation Plan of the City Controlled Dumpsite CDO_SCRP.docx

PRIORITY

SWM PLANS AND PROGRAMS

1. Formulation of the Solid Waste Management Plan

2. Closure and Rehabilitation of City Controlled Dumpsite

3. Establishment of Sanitary Landfill with Appropriate Operation System

4. Segregation at Source and Waste Reduction Strategies at Barangay level

Managing our solid waste is no longer a matter of choice; RA 9003 mandates it.
