Such revenues will comprise 25 percent of gross tipping fees from waste hauled to the P300-million landfill project dubbed as the Philippines’  ‘high-tech recycle bin of residual waste.’

”Twenty-five percent of 5,000 tons will amount to about P150 million a year for the province and its San Mateo municipality,” Rizal Gov. Casimiro ‘Junjun’ Ynares III said on Saturday during a press conference after launching the landfill’s second phase.

He noted Rizal province and San Mateo municipality will get equal share of the anticipated revenues.

”These local government units didn’t spend for the project but will receive such revenues—it’s part of the undertaking’s social contribution,” said Senando Santiago, president of San Mateo Sanitary Landfill Development Corporation which owns and operates the project.
