Residents near Guizo Barangay Hall in Mandaue City finally heaved a sigh of relief after tons of uncollected garbage dumped in the area were finally hauled to the city’s sanitary landfill last Tuesday.

Jesus Neri Jr., barangay chairman, said they immediately cleared the area after their garbage truck was repaired.

Around 8 p.m. Tuesday, Neri with barangay workers took the garbage to the landfill.
