SM City Clark
Among all the malls currently open in Pampanga, SM is the only one advocating for the green tag. If you’re not green, you’re definitely out. Aside from their now famous Green Bag, SM Supermalls offers everyone to earn extra cash from garbage and used materials.
Both SM Clark and SM Pampanga have the Waste Market Fair every first Friday and Saturday of each month at Parking A1 of SM City Pampanga and Parking 1 of SM City Clark from 9 am to 4pm.
Spearheaded by the Environmental Practitioners’ Association and SM City Clark, the waste market fair is a venue for buying and selling of paper scraps such as cartons, newspapers, notebooks, and bond papers, used ink and toner cartridges, electronic wastes such old CPUs, keyboards, computer monitors, and other electronic appliances; used lead batteries for cars, trucks, UPS, and rechargable lamps, used PET bottles and other plastic products, and aluminum and tin cans.
"Save a bag. Save the world."
According to SM, the waste market fair is an effort to help save the environment through the intensified move to bring recyclable materials directly to recognized recyclers for the best buy-back prices.
This endeavor is part of SM Supermalls’ thrust to be an eco-friendly mall, along with its strict implementation of the Ecological Solid Waste Management Act or R.A. 9003 among all SM malls. The implementation of the Solid Waste Management Act requires the segregation of all garbage within the tenant’s premises prior to the collection by the mall’s janitorial staff or upon delivery directly at the garbage house.
All tenants of SM malls are required to separate and keep in transparent bags their garbage according to the following classifications: recyclable, biodegradable, residuals and special (hazardous) wastes. A tag should be attached to each bag indicating the name and address of the authorized representative.
