SM Cares, the corporate social responsibility arm of SM Supermalls, adds SM Telabastagan and SM Pampanga to the growing list of SM malls that are part of its Plastic Waste Collection Program. Customers from nearby communities may now drop off their clean and dry plastic waste at Parking D near the SM Store Entrance in SM Telabastagan, or near the steel deck parking in SM Pampanga, every day from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Plastic materials such as PET bottles, grocery bags, e-commerce pouches, food containers, dishware, plastic utensils and alike are accepted, except for PVC pipes. Launched in 2021 in partnership with Plastic Credit Exchang, SM Cares’ Plastic Waste Collection Program promotes responsible and proper plastic waste disposal by making plastic waste collection points accessible to everyone.
