Yesterday, me and my friendd Bob went to CMRF. CMRF stands for City Material Recovery Facility. This is where all our valuable garbage go.
In our city, the City of San Jose del Monte, Bulacan, Philippines has Material Recovery Facilities in each and every Barangay. After gathering our garbage, it went to MRF and they segregate the garbage. Then, the valuables go to CRMF and they process things there.
This is a part of CMRF where plastics and bottles go. They grind it to small pieces and maybe they sell it again. I don't knew their process. But I believe thats it.
Then this is the part of CMRF where biodegradable waste go. They feed it to ANC or African Night Crawler.
It is variety of worms that eats faster than ordinary worms.
This is where the ANC lives. They are beneath the waste. Their poop is what we called Vermicast. It is use for our plants. Its is complete fertilizer and it is organic.
Vermicast can be bought for 50 pesos or 1 USD per kilo. But the CMRF only giving it for free.
Another place is this where the coco waste go. This machine grinds it and separate dust and fiber after grinding.
Coco fiver.
Coco dust.
In the end, they gave us 1 big sack of coco dust which I will use for my hydroponics and 2 small sacks of vermicast which I will use for my plants and vegetables on pots.
Vermicast. This is a very good organic fertilizer for our plants. It boosts our plant growth and gave us a more productive fruit bearing plants.
Coco dust. Although this is not finely grinded, I will just manually choose what I need. And this also saves me a lot of money for my hydroponics.
My final thoughts of this facility is very good. I think this must be implemented to all places. This facility generates jobs and resources. And it lessen the garbage that went to dump sites.
Good job to the local government behind this.
