SM supermalls

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.
