Santiago, Dominican Republic
CDN Channel 37’s popular television news and opinion show Edicion Nocturna with Miguel Guerrero featured a conversation about the problem the country faces due to recent fires in Haina, Duquesa and Rafey dumps in the recent months.
Among the panel, guest and Architect Mr. Raul De Moya offered Ridge Partners Jaibon project and its technology as a possible solution to the problems of municipal waste in the country. Mr. De Moya suggested that instead of thinking of solid waste as a problem, that we should think of it as a raw material that can be used to make valuable commodities such as energy and diesel fuel for the country.

De Moya stated that the Ridge technology processes garbage daily in a factory and therefore eliminates almost all of the need for dealing with dumps and accumulation of garbage. Mr. De Moya said that the “garbage is in your house in the morning and diesel in your tank tomorrow”.
Ridge Partners is in complete agreement with Mr. De Moya’s assessment of the problem and proud to be working on the country’s solution.
