Closure of Abucay Dump, Urged

Members of the EcoWaste Coalition and SHARE Inc. bear witness to the environmental destruction brought about by the illegal operation of the Abucay municipal dumpsite in Barangay Salian. The groups join Barangay Captain Thomas Baino Jr. in urging the local authorities to close, clean up and rehabilitate the open dumpsite and establish community-oriented materials recovery facilities (MRFs) to facilitate the ecological management of discards.
