hi, great website!!!! i am a missionary in Pasig, Santolan and Palawan. does SM have battery drop boxes for small batteries? Or, where can I take them for proper disposal? Thanks much, Ingat and God bless
I’m sorry I do not know if SM has drop off points. I usually drop it off beside the police station in Salcedo Park, where they collect light bulbs and batteries in a green tub. If not you can compile what you have until the next E-Waste Project and send it via Lalamove.
hello, how about generators or lead content mATERIALS? WHAT IS THE PROPER WAY TO DISPOSE IT?
Hi yes they will accept generators during their drive because it is also toxic e-waste that the plant is able to properly dispose of or recycle.
