- 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.

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)
