The latest initiative under SM Supermalls’ solid waste management program, the Electronic Waste Collection (EWC) Program encourages tenant and customer participation in the responsible disposal of electronic waste or e-waste which is considered hazardous. This effort also encourages decluttering in households and brings to light conscious consumerism.
Location and Schedule
The public may voluntarily drop off their e-waste during mall hours at
designated bins in 76 malls including SMDC Light. The EWC bins are located in
Cyberzone areas and in information kiosks or concierge desks.
Accepted E-Waste
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. The drop-off of gadgets larger than the bin may be coordinated with
mall administration.
