M. Recto Avenue and Quiapo, Mayor Francisco "Isko Moreno" Domagoso now focuses on garbage collection, particularly waste segregation. The mayor said the implementation of this campaign will initially cover establishments that contribute to the huge amount of garbage being collected on a daily basis. He reiterated his earlier call for business owners and residents to practice "waste sorting" by segregating their wet and dry trash, as well as those that are recyclable and not. Domagoso said he will be meeting with the concerned city offices, such as the Department of Public Services and the Barangay Bureau, to discuss a program of information dissemination for huge establishments down to the grassroots level on the importance of waste management. Garbage classification is the most difficult tasks in a congested city like Manila. Reports said its wet markets produce the highest volume of trash, while households owners fail to be responsible for their garbage by not separating them.
