DENR CALABARZON calls on Candidates and LGUs, Gather & Upcycle Campaign Materials

After the elections and now that winning candidates are being proclaimed, it is now time for those responsible to start cleaning up their campaign materials. This is also a good opportunity for individuals to create value around products that would otherwise end up in sanitary landfills or illegal dumpsites. With the recently concluded campaign season, the volume of waste, with an addition from the campaign materials, will considerably increase. However, the sizes and capacities of sanitary landfills (SLFs) remain the same. We hope these wastes do not end up in bodies of water and farther to the seas.
