Engr. Batomalque, said the award is a noticeable indication that the city has managed well its solid waste management program in compliance with RA 9003.
Batomalaque added that the city has been earning P2 million in compost and Vermicast sales and also providing schools said composts in support to their Gulayan sa Paaralan.
