A landslide occurred at the Binaliw landfill on January 8, 2026, leading to the shutdown of the primary waste facility in Cebu City. Due to the failure, the Cebu City Council ordered the Executive Department to present a comprehensive, long-term waste management plan within 15 days.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The operational failure has caused soaring costs for waste disposal. Long-distance transport to a private landfill in Aloguinsan has driven costs from P1,100 per ton to P3,906 per ton. Daily city spending on waste management has reached between P4.2 million and P4.5 million.

Cebu City relies on Binaliw as its primary site for waste disposal and landfill operations. The city is currently managing local landfill operations while also dealing with the impacts on the Aloguinsan river.
