The Waste Management Office (WMO) administers the solid waste
collection and disposal operations in the city. The city has at present 18 compactor and eight dump trucks. These trucks collect garbage from 14 barangays on a regular twice a week schedule. Biodegradable and non- biodegradable wastes are separately collected by compactor trucks. The waste is then transported to a garbage transfer station where large dump trucks wait to transport the garbage to the sanitary landfill situated in San Mateo, Rizal. The use of a garbage transfer station enables Marikina to boast of a garbage collection efficiency of 98 percent. The operation of a garbage transfer station substantially reduced the breakdown of equipment and increased the number of trips of garbage compactors, resulting in reduced costs of garbage collection. The citys initiatives on waste management, earned Marikina the championship in the Search for the Cleanest and Greenest Municipality in the National and Capital Region in three consecutive years from 1994 to 1996 and thus placing in the Hall of Fame for the same contest. The city placed second in the whole country.
