Davao City’s 1st District Councilor Temujin “Tek” Ocampo said that “time is of the essence” in the implementation of the waste-to-energy project he is proposing in light of the city’s rapid growth.

He said the city could not just open another landfill once the existing dumpsite in Barangay New Carmen reaches its maximum limit. He said the city generates 600 to 800 tons of wastes daily, which would be more than enough to fill up to the brim the new sanitary landfill located just beside the existing dumpsite in five years’ time.

Save for the budget, Ocampo said that everything is already set for the implementation of the WTE facility, including the site in Biao Escuela in Tugbok District.
