Tons of garbage clog ‘Gates of Hell’

AFTER the fun in lighting those fireworks and firecrackers, mounds of garbage choke the major roads of Metro Manila, a usual scenario after the New Year revelry.

The EcoWaste Coalition, an environmental watchdog group, on Wednesday said that its Basura Patrollers reported piles upon piles of post-revelry trash dumped along J. P. Rizal Avenue in Makati City; Sangandaan Market, Malabon City; Martinez Street, Mandaluyong City; Francisco Street in San Andres, Manila, Quirino Avenue, Manila; E. Rodriguez Avenue-Damayang Lagi and Kaliraya Streets, all in Quezon City and Bagong Kalsada, Tuktukan, Taguig City.
