BACOLOD City – To promote the recycling of garbage, the “Trash to Cashback” program was launched yesterday at the Bacolod City Government Center (BCGC).
Mayor Alfredo Abelardo Benitez said one of his priority programs is the recycling of garbage and earning from them.
The IPM-Construction and Development Corp. (IPM-CDC) has partnered with the city government for the program.
Lester Mateo, IPM-CDC representative, said their company installed a booth beside the BCGC building; it will accept recyclable trash in exchange for several goods.
Recyclable paper, plastic and metal from a minimum of one kilo may be used to redeem items like canned goods, alcohol, soap, and others based on the corresponding environmental points, said Mateo.
To earn a cashback, an individual must create an account at bxtra.com.ph of bXTRA Philippines, the official cashback partner of the Trash to Cashback Program, using one valid email address, or scan the QR (quick response) code at the IPM-CDC booth, where the registered user can claim his or her cashback card.
Through this account, the user will receive EP, which is equivalent to cashback that can be used to redeem grocery items, food, drinks, and other items. (with a report from PNA)/PN
