ORMOC CITY, Leyte, Jan. 14 (PNA) – The city government has procured five garbage compactors for the city-wide solid waste management program.

The Hino 500 Euro2 trucks, all brand new, arrived on Janueary 12 and blessed the following day. The units cost PHP5.5 million each with a load capacity of 10 cu.m.

Funding for the acquisition was taken from the unappropriated surplus end of year 2013 to supplement the capital outlay for motor vehicles of the General Services Department.

The purchase of the garbage compactors is important to solve the problem of uncollected garbage due to the frequent breakdown of old garbage trucks and improve the day-to-day waste collection of the government. (PNA)
