Baguio gets private lot for its waste compacting area

THE city government is set to establish its first solid waste compacting site in a 1,000 square meter land in Barangay Lamtang, La Trinidad, Benguet to effectively handle the city's daily garbage of more than 2,000 tons daily.

This land-locked mountain resort spends millions of pesos in proper disposal of its solid wastes for almost a decade now due to absence of engineered sanitary landfill (ESL) as required by law.
