Malabon creek clean-up yields 30 sacks of garbage
At least 30 sacks of garbage were collected during a clean-up drive conducted by the Malabon City Police Station (MCPS) along a creek in Barangay Tonsuya, Malabon City on Sunday, April 23.
The MCPS said it coordinated with the barangay officials and groups advocating for environmental protection, including Kaligkasan Advocacy Support Group, Alpha Kappa Rho (AKHRO) Force Multipliers, Malabon E-Trike Volunteer Brigade (MEVB), Mike Delta Force (MDF), and Philippine Guardian Brotherhood Inc. (PGBI) on the clean-up.
The 30 sacks of garbage were collected and hauled during the clean-up operation.
The MCPS said they conduct clean-up drives in Tonsuya creek and other city waterways twice a month.
The Malabon City Environment and Natural Resources Office (CENRO) said the hauled garbage in the city undergoes a "Waste Analysis and Characterization Study (WACS)," which is a process of classifying the types and weights of the garbage.
WACS is conducted by barangay officials and Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) personnel.
