Scavengers sort out the trash for a living at the Inayawan landfill. But with the recent decision of the Supreme Court to permanently close down the facility, the question now is, where will they go to find food for their families? But the bigger and more crucial question however, is, where will the city’s trash go?

The Supreme Court has made it final and executory its decision to order the permanent closure of the Inayawan landfill.

A copy of the High Court’s decision issued on May 29 was received by the Cebu City Government on Friday (September 7).

Cebu City Councilor Joel Garganera said that the case would not have reached the Supreme Court if Mayor Tomas Osmeña listened to the suggestion of the City Council and the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) to close the landfill.
