Clearing Operations Address Residents' Complaints
BACOLOD - On November 13, 2026, the Bacolod City Engineer's Office (BCEO) and Bacolod Environment and Natural Resources Office (BENRO), together with Barangay Singcang-Airport officials led by Barangay Captain Rosinie Distrito, conducted a clearing operation following complaints about roadside garbage disposal. The operation collected three truckloads of waste, including rotten fruits and other discarded materials that had been producing unpleasant odors in the area. Removing the accumulated garbage helped restore cleanliness and address concerns raised by nearby residents.
New Garbage Bin Supports Proper Waste Collection
To help prevent the area from becoming an illegal dumping site again, authorities installed a new garbage bin for more organized waste collection. The facility is intended to give residents a designated place to dispose of their household waste instead of leaving it along the roadside. The city also encourages proper use of the collection facility so that garbage can be managed more efficiently and surrounding areas remain clean.
Community Cooperation Helps Prevent Illegal Dumping
Barangay Singcang-Airport has committed to round-the-clock monitoring and stricter implementation of proper waste disposal rules. Residents are encouraged to use the designated garbage bin correctly and avoid leaving waste outside or around the collection area. Under the directive of Mayor Greg Gasataya, the clearing operation and installation of the new facility highlight the importance of cooperation between city offices, barangay officials, and the community in maintaining a cleaner environment.
