Garbage thrown into the river will no longer be drifted to Manila Bay areas as the local government units and environmental authorities in three Central Luzon provinces set-up their respective trash traps along major rivers and tributaries. Department of Environment and Natural Resources regional office Paquito Moreno said more than 30 tons of domestic wastes have been collected in 50 trash traps in Pampanga, Bataan, and Bulacan. The project, Moreno said is part of the DENR3 effort to prevent garbage mostly solid waste from drifting towards Manila Bay.
