CITY’S NEW GARBAGE COLLECTOR BEGINS OPERATIONS
Following weeks of complaints by Kagay-anons over uncollected garbage and the end of the previous contractor’s term, the city government has tapped Standard System as the new service provider for waste collection.
According to the City Local Environment and Natural Resources Office (CLENRO), the company will begin full operations on Friday, September 26, 2025, starting with barangays scheduled every Friday such as Kauswagan, Bayabas, Tablon, Carmen, Puntod, Macabalan, Macasandig, Cugman, and Balubal.
The garbage collection schedule across the city will continue twice a week from Monday to Saturday. The city also noted that Standard System has the capacity to meet and even exceed the requirements set for waste management.
Mayor Rolando “Klarex” Uy expressed confidence that the new contract will help address the city’s waste problem and urged cooperation from residents in maintaining proper disposal practices.
