LEADING integrated telecommunications network PLDT Inc. (PLDT) and its wireless unit Smart Communications Inc. (Smart) ramp up their sustainability initiatives nationwide by teaming up with the SM Group through the SM Electronic Waste Collection Program. Under this partnership, PLDT and Smart will be deploying e-waste collection drop boxes in all existing 85 SM malls nationwide to encourage Filipinos to recycle their e-waste and contribute to the fight against climate change.
Through this partnership, the public can dispose of e-waste in designated e-waste drop boxes, located in SM Cyberzone and in strategic areas of all existing and upcoming SM Malls across the country.

Collected e-waste will then be turned over to an accredited e-waste treatment, storage and disposal facility for proper handling.
