BACOLOD CITY – The Bago City government has launched a community-based waste-to-cash program to boost its environmental protection and preservation efforts.
City officials headed by Vice Mayor Ramon Torres and representatives of partner-organizations led the launching of the project in Barangays Ma-ao and Poblacion this week.
The program is in partnership with impact organization Friends of Hope Inc. and Germany-based development agency Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit . She said that this initiative aims to help the community manage their own plastic wastes at home and give additional income to designated Aling Tinderas who will manage waste collection stations as well as their respective community members.
Azurin said the stations will buy plastic sachets, packaging materials, and containers, among other plastic wastes, from residents at P2 per kilo, while the partner-organizations will then purchase them from the stations at P2.50 per kilo.
