Junkshop system for scrap yards in Muntinlupa.
In Muntinlupa, a junkshop answers to the Environmental Sanitation Center as well as the business permits office. Here's what the city's permit page and ordinances ask of junkshops, and how ScrapTrack keeps a record of every weigh-in.
- Business permit
- Clearances from the Muntinlupa Traffic Management Bureau and Environmental Sanitation, and a zoning certificate
- Storage standards
- Set by the ESC and the BPLO under Ordinance No. 06-092
- Junkshops counted
- 22 in MMDA's 2022 plan, and 36 in the national inventory as of December 2023
- Junkshops as MRFs
- Registered junkshops count as materials recovery facilities in the city's plan

What Muntinlupa asks of junkshops.
Three city documents name junkshops: the business permit page, the eco-waste ordinance as amended in 2006, and a 1994 ordinance on keeping goods off the national road.
For the business permit
- A clearance from the Muntinlupa Traffic Management Bureau (MTMB)
- A clearance from Environmental Sanitation (ESC)
- A zoning certificate from the Zoning Office
The yard's storage
- Junkshop owners, dealers and anyone in the business follow the standards set by the ESC and the BPLO
- The standards cover how the place looks, and its storage area for recyclables, biodegradable and non-biodegradable waste
- The rule is Section 5(c) of Ordinance No. 06-092, approved June 8, 2006, which amended the city's 1999 consolidated eco-waste ordinance
Off the national road (1994)
- Kautusang Bayan Blg. 94-37 tells vulcanizing shops, junk shops, and hardware and construction supply stores to keep their goods and materials off the national road
- Junk shops take the bottles, jars and scrap iron they buy inside within 20 minutes of unloading
- The owner is responsible for the orderly parking of its collectors' carts
- Fines are ₱1,000, then ₱2,000, then ₱2,500 or up to six months in jail, or both, as the court decides
Kautusang Bayan Blg. 94-37 was passed in Filipino on January 31, 1994, when Muntinlupa was still a municipality; the summary is our translation. Sources: the City of Muntinlupa's business permit page, Ordinance No. 06-092 as quoted in Resolution No. 2023-307, and Kautusang Bayan Blg. 94-37, checked October 1, 2026.

Junkshops in Muntinlupa's waste program.
The city counts registered junkshops as recovery facilities and signs agreements with them.
- Junkshops as MRFs. Under Muntinlupa's 10-year solid waste plan, registered junkshops count individually as materials recovery facilities, and any barangay may adopt a junkshop as its MRF.
- A 2023 agreement. Resolution No. 2023-307, adopted August 14, 2023, let the mayor sign an MOU with a homeowners' association and a local junkshop to run an MRF and redeem recyclables. The ESC is to give the junkshop operator capacity building and an orientation seminar.
- What the junkshop brings. Under that MOU, the junkshop provides the weighing scale, recorder, calculator, logbook and containers.
- Permits since 2003. A 2003 ADB survey found Muntinlupa was one of only two of eight Metro Manila LGUs surveyed whose solid waste office took part in junkshop permits.
