Provincial Administrator Rayfrando Diaz said that 7.99 metric tons of infectious waste materials were removed from the septic vaults, pathologic vaults, and infectious waste facility of the Lorenzo D. Zayco District Hospital (LZDH) in Kabankalan City on Thursday and Friday.
This is part of the provincial government’s ongoing efforts to ensure the safe disposal of decades of infectious waste accumulated at its various hospitals, he said.
Diaz said that the province had already disposed of 243.81 metric tons of infectious waste materials from the Teresita L. Jalandoni Provincial Hospital in Silay City, the Cadiz District Hospital in Cadiz City and LZDH between December 2025 and February 2026.
The next facility slated for clean-up is the Don Salvador Benedicto Memorial District Hospital in La Carlota City, which holds approximately 73.41 metric tons of infectious waste materials, Diaz said.
“This clean-up drive is spearheaded by our team of pollution control officers. It is our small contribution to a clean environment and sanitary hospitals,” Diaz said.*
