“I am reassuring my constituents that there is no need to worry about a possible garbage crisis in the city after the closure of the Navotas sanitary landfill where Malabon dumps its trash,” Sandoval said.

City Administrator Alexander Rosete explained that Malabon has its own transfer station where garbage collected throughout the city is gathered before being hauled by trucks to the Rizal landfill.
“We want to make it clear that the new system will not add any additional cost to the city’s coffers, as it is part of the city government’s contract with the private haulers,” Rosete said.
