MANILA, Philippines — Truly embodying the #TechWeLikeZoneWeLove promise, Cyberzone continues to make responsible tech disposal easy and accessible, right where people already are: inside SM Supermalls.
Cyberzone, in partnership with SM Cares, helps turn e-waste disposal into a simple, safer habit through dedicated drop-off points rolled out nationwide in partnership with Smart Communications and PLDT Home since June 2024.
Across participating SM Supermalls, these collection bins give mallgoers a clear, accessible place to drop off old gadgets and broken electronics that are in need of proper disposal. Instead of ending up in drawers or landfills, e-waste can be responsibly handled through a system designed for everyday convenience and better environmental discipline.
14,327kg properly collected and segregated
Since the partnership began, Cyberzone’s E-Waste Collection Drop Boxes have helped gather 14,327kg of electronic waste across 89 SM Supermalls, 69 of which are located in the Cyberzone area.
This ensures materials are properly collected and segregated for responsible handling. Serving as a reflection on the growing community habit made easier through clear drop-off points and a consistent, accessible mall experience.
“We take pride in being the go-to tech destination for shoppers,” said Patrick Pacla, vice president for Cyberzone Operations and Marketing at SM Supermalls.
“But as gadgets evolve, so does the need to dispose of old electronics responsibly. Everyone has a role to play, and Cyberzone is committed to making it simpler and safer to do the right thing, so tech does not end up harming the planet.”

Sustainability built to grow through partnerships
Cyberzone and SM Cares, together with Smart Communications and PLDT Home, will continue expanding e-waste collection bins as new malls open.
Today, drop-off points are available in Cyberzone branches and SM Supermalls, helping move communities closer to an #SMWasteFreeFuture.
