Other LGU members •The LGUs which are part of the cluster shall provide their own transport units, preferably compactor trucks or any other closed type units as provided in RA 9003 •The tipping fee that may be assessed from the LGUs shall b e paid through a mechanism whereby the disposing LGU shall make automatic allocations from their IRA specifically for the purpose. •Participate in the periodic assessment of the performance of cluster members & host LGU with respect to disposal management. In accordance with the MOA, a Board (specifically for the Cluster SLF) was created composed of all the LCEs of the member LGUs, a representative of the provincial government and host Barangay, whose primary role was to formulate rules and regulations of disposal, use and maintenance of the SLF, monitoring and evaluation in connection with the operation and maintenance of the SLF. It will also determine sanctions to be imposed to parties who will withdraw from or violate any provision of the MOA. The board created an Operation and Management Committee which is now operational.

BARRIERS ENCOUNTERED Pre- Implementation Phase - Resistance of the 1st Barangay due to political differences, however it was immediately resolved by transferring to other Barangay (Colongolo) that took the project as an opportunity for them to become learning site of other LGUs; Implementation Phase 1. Lack of budget to complete all the necessary infrastructure Operation Phase Lack of budget for member LGUs for tipping fees and other MOOE Powerpoint slides from presentation of the Provincial Government of South

Advantages and Benefits of Clustering Advantages
Benefits to LGUs
Preservation of Common Heritage and Identity
Scarce resources to implement projects will be supplemented by other members’ shares
Development needs easier to identify and address
High possibility of funding assistance and approval of proposals from donor agencies/financial institutions
Serves as a tool in establishing growth centers in the Province/Region
Equipment needed for infrastructure development and waste management will be supplemented by other members
Ensures greater benefits thru equitable sharing
Wider market for services will be established
Allows wider area jurisdiction to achieve desired economies of scale
Increase in employment opportunities for constituents
