- Garbage and Refuse Collection
The Local Government is doing garbage and other solid-wastes collection in the Poblacion. It has 2 dump trucks in rotation to collect garbage daily. Garbage and waste materials in the market area are being pick-up by the garbage collectors. The collected wastes are then thrown in a dumping site located in Barangay Lawigan which is outside the Urban core from the nearest residential area.
Residents that are not served by the garbage collection system disposed their solid waste materials by turning the same in their respective backyard with their common pits.
The Municipality has come up with a Solid Waste Management Plan in consonance with R.A. 9003 otherwise known as the “Solid Management Act” and it has started its implementation.
- Cemeteries
There are 3 cemeteries within the municipality, the biggest of which is a 2.3517 hectare burial site located in Lopoc. Per observation, the cemeteries are still wide enough to accommodate more burials as the number of details record by the Municipal Civil Registrar is relatively low. The location of the cemeteries does not pose any health hazards to the residents as they are located far from the nearest and densely-populated residential areas.
New private memorial park conducted adjacent to the Lopoc Cemetery, this municipality which is managed by Engr. Geovanie Empeynado.
