Be Wise with Waste:

The Mandaue City’s approach/initiatives

“ ADOPT TAKAKURA COMPOSTING METHOD”

Our vision is to turn Mandaue City into a clean city “living in an environment that is friendly to man.”

Waste is an issue that affects us all. We all produce waste, people living in Mandaue City throws away household rubbish every year. All this waste has a huge impact on the environment, causing pollution and greenhouse gas emissions that contribute to climate change. With this alarming issues the Mandaue City Government through the Office of the Solid Waste Management come up an initiative to decrease the problem of wastes that are difficult to deal with safely.

  

One of the initiatives that our office come up is working to minimize the negative impacts of waste in the city while maximizing the benefits of good waste management, and the role of individuals, households have to play. This include, to wit:

conduct survey @ household level on TAKAKURA COMPOSTING wherein stickers with number will be put to their house if household practiced the said composting. give freebies like 3 kls. of rice to be raffled for household who take part in the implementation of this initiative.
