The Malabon City government assured residents that garbage collection will continue uninterrupted despite the permanent closure of the Navotas landfill.
In a statement, officials said proactive planning enabled the city to maintain waste management operations smoothly.
Malabon has established a waste transfer station and deployed its own garbage trucks to haul waste to a sanitary landfill in Rodriguez, Rizal.
The local government emphasized that early action and planning helped ensure a cleaner and more resilient community.
The closure of the Navotas landfill has forced neighboring cities to seek alternative waste disposal solutions.
