The work at the Binaliw landfill is slow, tedious and dirty. The tragedy at Binaliw landfill calls up a similar collapse a few years ago at the Payatas dumpsite. Binaliw is a fairly young dumpsite. The city has been using the Binaliw landfill since July of 2017. Despite this, landfill operations at Binaliw continued in the most antiquated manner.
