Barangays in Baguio City have started collecting the P75 monthly garbage fee per household this September under City Ordinance No. 69, series of 2026.
Liga ng mga Barangay President Rocky M. Aliping informed the city’s 128 Punong Barangays of the implementation and urged them to begin collecting the fee from households served by the city’s garbage collection system.
Payments shall be made directly at the barangay, allowing Barangay Local Government Units (BLGUs) to receive their 50 percent share of the collections. The share may increase based on collection efficiency, with barangays achieving full collection entitled to receive up to 75 percent.
Aliping reminded Punong Barangays to take note of the ordinance’s provisions, particularly those covering discounts, surcharges, and proper collection procedures.
The ordinance covers households, commercial establishments, institutions, business enterprises, and other entities generating solid waste within Baguio City that are served by the city’s garbage collection system. It provides different garbage fees for establishments based on their type of business, capacity, number of employees, beds, rooms, seats, or enrollees.
The ordinance provides 10 percent discounts for taxpayers who pay their annual garbage fees on or before April 20 each year, while those paying quarterly on or before the 20th day of the month following each quarter will get a 5 percent discount.
Late payments will be subject to a 25 percent surcharge and 2 percent monthly interest until fully paid.
The ordinance also provides for a periodic review of garbage fee rates with a 10 percent automatic increase every three years beginning 2027. - JM Samidan
