The association already requested for assistance from the Barangay to have a weekly garbage collection at our subdivision. However the Barangay expressed that they do not have available garbage trucks. They said that if we can provide our own garbage truck, they can assign personnel for the weekly garbage collection.
Our association do not have the capacity to provide a garbage truck. Thus, we resorted to private service providers for the mean time.
While we acknowledge our rights to this basic services since we are taxpayers, our hands are still tied since we are at the mercy of the Barangay.
However, we will still pursue our request to the LGU or CENRO. If granted, the garbage collection fee may be removed from our monthly fees. For the mean time, let us help each other provide the basic needs of our subdivision.
If anyone has connections to the LGU, you are very much welcome to assist us in arranging for a government garbage collection services.
