SM Celebrates Earth Day 2022

SM City Mindpro will join the nation in celebrating Earth Day on April 22 with the theme “Invest in our Planet” through its Trash-to-Cash Recycling Market and e-Waste Collection Program.


The Trash-to-Cash (TTC) is a recycling market held every first Friday and Saturday of the month to encourage waste segregation and recycling among customers, tenant partners, and the community, then earn in the process. The e-Waste Collection Program, on the other hand, is the latest initiative under SM Supermalls’ solid waste management program which encourages tenant partners, customers, and the community’s participation in the responsible disposal of electronic waste which is considered hazardous. This effort also encourages decluttering in households and brings to light conscious consumerism.

“As a responsible mall developer and operator, SM’s mission includes supporting communities as well as safeguarding the environment for future generations. This April 22-23, as we celebrate Earth Day, SM City Mindpro will open its recycling market and e-Waste collection campaign. We encourage our communities, tenants, and customers to participate in our mall environmental activities as a commitment to invest in our planet,” said Assistant Mall Manager Aileen Ann Villa-Enriquez.

The Trash-to-Cash and e-Waste Collection Program will simultaneously be held in all SM Supermalls nationwide. In SM City Mindpro, the drop-off area is located at the ground level carpark building and the recycling market is open from 2:00PM until 4:00PM. Accepted wastes for the Trash-To-Cash program include plastic and PET bottles, tin and aluminum cans, newspapers, scratch papers, and cardboards. For e-wastes, SM accepts old, broken and used mobile phones, phone chargers, power cords, computer wiring, commercial batteries, printer ink and toner cartridges, small gadgets such as keyboards, calculators, power banks, earphones and earbuds.
