MANILA - The Quezon City government plans to permanently close the Payatas sanitary landfill by the end of 2017.City Administrator Aldrin Cuña on Thursday said they are already working on the closure because the sanitary landfill is already near its carrying capacity limit, 7 years after it was opened.Parts of the Payatas landfill were closed temporarily last week due to the monsoon rains. &quot;Umuulan. Hindi kami makapag-dump ng basura. We temporarily slowed down the phase of disposal into the landfill,&quot; said Cuña.&quot;Wala namang danger. Kaya lang, dahil malambot ang lupa... Ang truck &#x27;pag dumaan sa malambot na lupa, baka mabalahaw,&quot; he added.For now, trucks dispose the waste in a sanitary landfill in Rizal, as allowed by the MMDA. Everyday, around 200 trucks haul an estimated 2,500 metric tons of garbage in Quezon City.
