hac (out of 12 hac
total area)
is shown in Annex B-Schematic Diagram of the Iligan City
Solid Waste Management System.
Below is the brief description of this system:
1. A Central MRCF shall be constructed to handle the
solid waste fro the following sources: a) Barangay
MRF residuals, b) the mixed/special solid waste from
the city markets /institutional sources; and c) the
mixed solid waste from households which are beyond
the capacity of the individual Barangay MRF’s to
process.
2. The 28 coastal barangays shall each put up their own
barangay MRF, or in clusters - to handle
segregation, recycling, composting, and others.
Residuals shall be handled by the Central MRCF.
3. All commercial (markets) and institutional sources
(hospitals, schools, etc.) mixed solid/special waste
shall be handled by the Central MRCF. /hazardous
waste shall have a designated disposal area to be built
and operated by each hospital, with the City to put up a
Special and Hazardous Waste Facility with central
autoclaving system (for small hospitals). Hospitals may
also opt to put up their privately-operated MRF’s in
their property for medical wastes -subject to the EIS
requirements.
4. Excess solid waste generated from households (that
can’t be absorbed by Barangay MRF), and for those
Barangay still without MRF’s shall be processed at
the CMRCF.
5. The collection/hauling of solid waste shall be done by
both the Barangay MRF within their area of
responsibility, and/or by the City Government through
the Public Services Division in the case of the Central
MRCF.
