Solid Waste Management Seminar

A follow-up to the circular dated July 12, 2008, we are pleased to announce the schedule of the SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT SEMINAR on the following dates:

   AUGUST 16 AND 23 (SATURDAYS) FROM 3:00 - 5:00 PM AT THE CLUBHOUSE

The SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT PROGRAM is a national campaign aimed to educate us in theproper disposal of our garbage under R.A. 9003. The Association has supported this since 2006 and came out advantageous for the association as the cost of garbage hauling is maintained at the same amount as it was in 2004. The average expense of the village for garbage hauling was estimated at P150,000.00 in 2004 with initial number of 150 residents. Now that the occupancy of the Village has increased to 350, the Administration is proud to inform you that the cost of garbage expense reamins at the same level. This is a good indicationthat SWM project is partly working in our community.

The Village has already adopted three (3) measures that contributed to the success of the campaign, namely:

1. DAILY COLLECTION OF BIO-WASTE by our utility staff while in his pedicab from Mondays - Saturdays (MWF at Q 1 and 3 and TTHS at Q 2 and 4).

2. MADE ARRANGEMENT WITH DANNY'S JUNKSHOP every 1st and 3rd Saturday and/or Sunday to go around the Village and convert recyclable garbage into cash.

3. COLLECTION OF RESIDUAL WASTE every Monday by the local government (LGU) and every Thursday by the private contractor - Dynahaul. IDEALLY, ONLY THE RESIDUAL GARBAGE SHOULD BE DISPOSED DURING THESE DAYS!

While the old board has initiated these good projects, it is sad to note that only a small percentage of the homeowners do participate. Just for instance for the bio-waste, only 20% is supporting it. This time, we want to give special credit and recognition to the efforts of concerned homeowners who continously participate in this campaign.

From the records, regular supporters are homeowners and residents whose name and address are enumerated in the attached list*. For those hoemowners of the above property lot, MOTHER EARTH IS PROUD OF YOU! And for those who have not joined us, it is not too late TO SAVE THE PLANET EARTH FOR OUR CHILDREN AND THE NEXT GENERATION TO COME!

Thus we reiterate our invitation for you to attend the orientation on the SWMP and require all household helpers to be present. The attendance of your helpers is a must as this is pre-requisite to the issuance of the Household ID (HHID) and Household Helpers Pass (HHP)

Thank you very much.
