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 our customers, tenants, and the community. The recycling market is open from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM.
To date, the TTC is activated in 86 SM Supermalls nationwide.
*except SM Cubao and SM Makati
We accept paper, plastics and PET bottles, glass, metal, tin and aluminum as well as cookware and kitchen items. Acceptance of glass and glass bottles for exchange will be subject to the mall’s partner hauler. Patrons may call their nearest SM mall to confirm.
Each mall has an assigned recycler for their TTC and price per classification varies according to the prevailing market price. For the duration of the recycling market, the recycler will weigh the customer’s items, compute for the equivalent price and directly transact with the customer for the cash exchange.
The assigned recycler is responsible for the reuse or recycling of the materials collected at the TTC. They may process the recyclables themselves or bring specific recyclables such as plastics to processing plants.
