“It is the policy of the City to promote the preservation, protection, and revival of the ecosystem through prevention, control, and abatement of air, water, and land pollution and the spread of hazardous wastes in the environment, hand-in-hand with the sustained development of the City,” EO 3 reads.

The task force will supervise and manage the collection and transport of solid wastes, as well as collection maintenance and continuity in the city.
