Archival promotes reuse, recycling of poll materials

Cebu City mayor-elect Nestor Archival, an advocate for environmental sustainability, is calling for the reuse and recycling of campaign materials following the May 12 midterm elections.

Archival's initiative aligned with the earlier appeal of Environment Secretary Maria Antonia Yulo Loyzaga who urged the public to take part in responsible waste disposal.

Through his social media platforms, Archival shared that his team has been conducting its own Operation Baklas, via the Nestor Archival Rescue and Fire Brigade (NARF).

Archival also encouraged citizens to remove campaign posters from their properties and, where possible, reuse or recycle them.

For those opting to discard campaign materials, Archival reminded the public to dispose of them properly, emphasizing that improper disposal could clog drainage systems and could lead to flooding.

“Another day, another opportunity to make Cebu greener and more livable for all,” he posted.

Archival also revealed that some of his campaign tarpaulins are being donated to the Bayanihan Women's Group in Barangay Luz for upcycling while extending invitation to individuals and organizations interested in repurposing tarpaulins for useful projects.
