    Hi all,
    I have been hearing/reading tidbits about the garbage collection in Dumaguete not being what it should be. Just want your personal experiences....how is the garbage collection (if any) where you live? Are you burning your own trash (not something I want to have to do)? Has the city done anything to try to address the problem? I hate to see this somewhat clean city literally going up in smoke because the residents have to resort to burning their trash....I know alot of people choose to burn their trash and I guess that is their business, but I cannot stand the smell and smoke of burning trash nor do I like how it affects the air quality.
    Thanks!!
    Marie

    Hmm...I have not noticed any problem where I am in Mangnao. You buy these orange tags at City Hall for P1.5 each. Attach it to the outside of the garbage can and the garbage people collect it...I think once a week. (It may be twice...the helper handles that.) I have not noticed any of my neighbors burning trash, but they do need to invest in some garbage cans with sealing lids...they have a tendency to hang the trash in sacks on trees or fences to keep them out of the reach cats and dogs...so, you end up with 'basura trees' the night before garbage collection.

    Maybe that will be my Christmas gift to my neighbors...proper garbage cans. Hehehe

    That must be the advantage to living in Paranaque.

    Hi, Marie --

    We have weekly trash pickup here (Saturday mornings around 8:00-8:30). They collect whatever is out there, even without the colored stickers/tags. We've been in our house for almost four months now, and they have yet to miss a Saturday pickup. I have not seen any of our neighbors burning trash; leaves/grass periodically, but never trash.

    ...burning leaves/grass specially early in the evening is a practice we do to get rid of the mosquitos.
