The Quezon City Environmental Protection and Waste Management Department is holding recycling markets in select Quezon City Malls every month. Recyclable items like paper products, plastics, glass bottles, used computers and equipment can be exchanged for cash. Though some items like fluorescent bulbs, used batteries and old tires cannot be traded for cash, you’ll be assured that the recyclers will properly dispose these for you.

SM Malls are doing something good but there are so few people who are participating. I hope they intensify their information campaign.

Yup, although they don’t buy stuff like batteries and bulbs you’ll be assured that those are disposed properly

It is 2011. Is this still on going?

Hi there! Yup, they are still buying used stuff Michael. Only that, they don’t buy plastic bags (by Linis Ganda). Free disposal of light bulbs are not for free (by Envirocycle). You have to pay 25.00 pesos for each light bulb that you would want to dispose. But hey, if you really love the environment, why not sacrifice? It is just 25.00. I have not tried giving them any batteries nor rubber tires yet. So, far for the past 3 months, I have earned 3,000.00 because of them. We have tons of junk here back home and everything is downright clean.
It is just now that I have passed this website. I hope my response helped. Later!
