Recently in the City of Muntinlupa, a material recovery facility located at the Alabang Central Market was formally opened with the goal of improving local waste management, according to a news report by the Manila Bulletin.

To put things in perspective, posted below is an excerpt from the Manila Bulletin news report. Some parts in boldface…

The Muntinlupa City government has opened a materials recovery facility (MRF) at the Alabang Central Market to improve waste management in the busy public market.

Built with the support of the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority, Office of the City Market Administrator, Environmental Sanitation Center, and City Engineering Office, the P14.17-million facility in Barangay Alabang has a total floor area of 177.68 sq. m.

Mayor Ruffy Biazon, who led the inauguration, said the MRF will handle segregation, recovery, recycling, and composting of market waste, noting that the public market generates one to two tons of garbage daily.

The facility includes a composting room, hazardous waste room, ecoshed for recyclables, residual containment area, rapid composting machine donated by the MMDA, receiving and sorting area, storage area, comfort room, pantry, and provision for an overhead water tank.
