Councilor wants garbage fees slapped on QC residents

The author of a proposal slapping an annual garbage fee to Quezon City real property owners defended on Friday his measure claiming the proceeds of the ordinance will augment looming high cost of providing free educations to city residents with the implementation of K-to-12.

“This is also to instill in our minds that we have a ‘shared responsibility’ with [sic] regards to our garbage or waste products,” First District Councilor Victor Ferrer Jr. chairman of the city council’s Committee on Ways and Means said.
