While holding on to old belongings for their sentimental value is a typical Filipino habit, most people do so because they don’t know how to dispose of these materials, particularly old and obsolete gadgets.
 
To encourage their customers to finally let go and at the same time properly and safely dispose of their electronic waste (e-waste), the country’s leading integrated telco network PLDT Inc. (PLDT) and its wireless unit Smart Communications, Inc. (Smart) have set up e-waste collection bins in select stores across the country.
