QC school receives chairs from plastic recycling program

STUDENTS in one Quezon City elementary school are enjoying new chairs thanks to the city’s aggressive regulation of plastic bags and program to recycle waste plastic, the office of Mayor Herbert M. Bautista reported.

“Waste disposal is everybody’s concern and it is a very serious concern. It is not just a catchy slogan,” the mayor said after Monday’s flag-raising ceremony at Quezon City Hall where he accepted 1,500 chairs manufactured from plastic materials that were recovered from trash bins.
