SM Trash to Cash Recycling Market is a part of an environmental campaign
under the SM Cares program. It was launched to raise awareness in the
community on the environmental efforts of the mall. Operated
simultaneously in 41 SM Malls parking lots from 8 am to 2 pm every first
Friday and Saturday of the month, the Trash to Cash program engages our
customers as well as the broader community.
Everyone in the community is encouraged to bring in their disposable
items that is accessed by licensed haulers and recyclers. A ( 2 % )
percentage of the recyclers sales from these markets goes to
beneficiaries of SM Supermalls environmental advocacies.
Through the Trash to Cash program, SM has acheived some very noteworthy
goals and continues to not only help the environment, but also the
communities in which we serve.
The following are some of the awards recently received:
