Manila Bulletin
|January 1, 2026
A Luzon-based consortium bagged the two service contracts for this highly urbanized city's solid waste management operations, amounting to almost P437 million for 2026.

The joint venture comprises the International Solid Waste Integrated Management Specialist Inc. (I-SWIMS), a company located in San Juan City; the D.C. Sandil Construction and Realty Development Inc., and the San Igmedio Builders Inc., both based in Rodriguez, Rizal.
In an interview on Tuesday, Mayor Greg Gasataya said the service contracts are being finalized after the City Council granted him the authority to sign on behalf of the city government during a special session on Monday.
“The request was urgent and crucial to ensure the continuity of garbage collection services and to sustain the city’s cleanliness and environmental protection efforts,” he said.
