As part of the closure plan of the Candau-ay dumpsite, the city government is seriously considering the procurement of biological enzymes and brown sugar that can be utilized to hasten the decomposition of garbage and neutralize the stench while the search and construction of a sanitary landfill continues in earnest.

Mayor Felipe Antonio “Ipe” Remollo has tasked the Technical Working Group chaired by Councilor Manuel Arbon and co-chaired by Dr. Jorge Emmanuel to come up with the specifications that will serve as the standard in the purchase of the biological enzyme.

City Agriculturist Wiliam Ablong, who is also a member of the TWG, said that the biological enzymes is expected to pulverize the tons of garbage collected from different barangays and brought daily to the city dumpsite resulting into organic fertilizer as by-product.

Furthermore, spraying the garbage with the biological enzymes has been tested and proven effective to remove bad smell, treat polluted leachate and produce more organic fertilizer to improve farm productivity, food security while promoting health and general welfare. (City PIO)
