[3] reveals that around 112 SLFs are being
established and 43 of these are already operating as of June 2012. This number of individual or shared
facilities available to LGUs is relatively small vis-à-vis 1,600 cities and municipalities in the Philippines.
Similarly, about 8,800 out of 42,000 barangays have access to 7,700 MRFs in the country. Nevertheless,
many LGUs and private entities have done well in programs on SWM, e.g., segregation at source and 3Rs.
