Waste volume in upward trajectory
The Freeman
|March 25, 2025
The volume of garbage in Cebu City has consistently increased over the years, with current projects indicating a total of 706.89 tons per day.
-
Data from the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR), obtained by The Freeman, reveals that Cebu City had a total projected solid waste generation (TPSWG) of 674.92 tons per day, which rose by 6.28 tons in 2021.
The upward trajectory continued in the following years, increasing to 687.53 tons in 2022 and 693.92 tons in 2023. By 2024, the city breached the 700-ton mark with 700.38 tons, with further growth recorded in 2025.
At present, Cebu City relies on a single sanitary landfill, the Prime Integrated Waste Solutions, Inc. (PIWS) in Binaliw, a privately-owned facility. However, the city faces additional challenges due to the limited number of junk shops and recycling facilities.
