SM CITY Cabanatuan and SM Megacenter will join the whole world in celebrating Earth Day on April 22 with the theme “Invest in Our Planet” through Trash-to-Cash Recycling Market and E-Waste Collection Program.

Chao Chua, assistant mall manager of SM Cabanatuan, said SM’s mission includes supporting communities and protecting the environment for future generations.

“Our various initiatives on energy, water, and solid waste management serve to reduce our impact on natural resources and minimize our carbon footprint. Together with you, our mall tenants, we align with DENR’s mandates on waste segregation and protection of water quality,” Chua said.

On April 22-23, SM malls will simultaneously conduct the Trash-to-Cash Recycling Market from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Tenants and customers may bring their recyclables waste and exchange them for cash.

Aside from Trash-to-Cash, SM also have existing E-Waste Collection Program where small e-wastes, such as broken or used electronic gadgets and wires may be disposed.

“We encourage everyone to take part in our mall environmental activities as your commitment to investing in our planet,” Chua added.
