All residents are being encouraged to segregate, attend livelihood training on waste recycling and to compost bio-waste. Segregated wastes and by-products from wastes are being sold to private recycling enterprises. The City is currently enhancing its garbage collection and disposal system and its clean and green program. Fifteen garbage trucks of the City government are to be devolved to select barangays. The CENRO has initiated a massive information campaign on Solid Waste Management/recycling/tree planting and has formed the San Jose del Monte City SINOP KALAT and LUNTIANG KAPALIGIRAN Executive Committee. In year 2000, the office concerned had drafted and initiated approval of City Environment Protection Council and also launched the road Maintenance Brigade for the maintenance and cleanliness of roads. San Jose del Monte's Solid Waste Disposal Area is a two-hectare land located in Barangay Citrus. The zenith of its capacity has already been surpassed. Solid wastes have already encroached on the neighbouring public cemetery while the nearby residential areas are now bothered by the stench that the growing volume of garbage emits. The City is currently considering a new dumpsite in Barangay Minuyan Proper that may later on be converted into a sanitary landfill. The City presently has 14 dump trucks, which serve all the barangays once a week, except for Sampol, Muzon, Tunkong Mangga and Palmera which are served everyday. In addition, the City has already devolved six trucks to Gaya-gaya, Graceville, Maharlika, Muzon San Pedro and Rafael 1. The four barangays of Poblacion, Tungkong Mangga, Graceville and Muzon also have their own dump trucks. Table 8.1 shows the monthly and daily volume of garbage that the City government-owned and -controlled garbage trucks collected from the months of January to June 2002.
