Cleaning-up for the Community

Silang, Cavite – November is Environmental Awareness Month! As part of our commitment to the community, Cleanway cleans up Labuyo Creek in Barangay Maguyam, Silang. This body of water traverses the major industrial estates in the locality. In 2019, a trash trap was constructed upstream to manage the solid waste collection. Regular COD and BOD testings are conducted upstream, mid-stream and downstream to monitor the water quality and condition. This year, the company partnered with Rotary E-Club of Edsa Ortigas for the refurbishment of the Trash Trap last July 1, 2023. This device holds up solid waste upstream for easy collection of unwanted wastes from the creek. Rotary provided the Maguyam community with a solution and through the collaboration of private entities, this can replicated in other water streams of the municipality. The project was in coordination with the MENRO of Silang in compliance with DENR directives. Cleanway is a signatory of the Adopt An Estero Program of the DENR-EMB IVA. It received recognition from the regional agency given its commitment and growing partnership with NGOs like the Rotary Club. The company promises to commit itself to the protection of bodies of water and continuously strives to fulfill its pledge to support this worthy cause.
