Kidapawan inaugurates a waste-to-bricks facility.
The municipal government of this city inaugurated its own “waste-to-bricks” recycling facility on Wednesday to enhance its solid waste management program.
Mayor Jose Paolo Evangelista, along with personnel from the City Environment and Natural Resources Office (CENRO), City Planning and Development Office, and other stakeholders, witnessed the operation of the new machinery at the PHP1.4 million facility in Barangay Magsay.
Two units of multipurpose shredders, a plastic melting densifier, a mixer, and two units of manual brick molders comprise the machinery.
“This will enhance our solid waste management efforts and establish a new criterion for transforming garbage into something useful,” said Evangelista.
CENRO has been tasked with managing the operation of the facility and evaluating future enhancements to increase the equipment’s utilization.
Under the city’s solid waste recycling program, the local government will purchase recyclable wastes such as plastic bottles, newspapers, Styrofoam, and used cooking oil from local businesses and organizations.
Bricks are produced through the crushing and melting of waste materials, which are then combined with gravel.
The mayor stated, “Recycling is important because, in addition to protecting the environment, it can produce valuable material that can be used for construction and even for local economic development.”
Every day, the city collects roughly six tons of trash from the public market alone.
