The local government, under the leadership of Mayor Richard Garin, has acquired new garbage compactors to tackle the longstanding mismanagement of the dumpsite in Barangay Tuguraao.

This announcement was made by Forester Isidro Mosura, Officer-in-Charge of the Municipal Environment and Natural Resources Office (MENRO), in response to recent concerns regarding garbage management at the local government unit (LGU) dumpsite.

Mosura indicated that the issue had persisted long before he took office in 2008. He emphasized that Mayor Garin has systematically addressed these challenges through the recent purchase of these compactors.

Furthermore, he noted that the local government is considering a partnership with LGU Passi to manage its waste disposal more effectively.

Meanwhile, MENRO maintains the strict implementation of its policies and programs on segregation, collection, and disposal of solid waste in town.

Mayor Richard Garin recognizes the importance of the eGovPH initiative and has expressed his strong endorsement of this program by the Department of Information and Communication Technology.

On February 25, 2025, Mayor Garin dispatched select employees to attend the program’s launch and the kickoff ceremony for the eLGU at the Iloilo Convention Center.

The eGovPH app serves as a unified operating system that consolidates all government services into a single application. This one-stop platform enhances public convenience and streamlines effective transactions.

Due to strong winds and a high volume of garbage waste in the area, the MENRO office, with the assistance of the MEO office, took action and performed the scheduled clearing operations today for the controlled dumpsite at Brgy. Tugura-ao, Miagao.

This is done at least once a week for the dumping management of residual wastes of our municipality. The efficiency and effectivity of this management are done to ensure SWM implementation and keep the surroundings clean and safe.

Furthermore, we thank the acquisition of the heavy equipment of this administration for making the functions of our offices better.
