CGS The Caring Community's Zero Waste Initiative

Our recycling partner, Green Trident, will be at California Garden Square on Sep 17th to collect our recyclables.

They will be at the Calbayog gate from 11:00 am to 12:00 noon. Please prepare PhP100 as payment for hauling fees (to be given directly to the Green Trident staff)

Did you know that common household wastes found in your homes like beverage cartons, doy pouches (stand up pouches for vinegar, catsup) sachets, and e-commerce bags (lazada shopee) can actually be recycled? 💡

With the help of our progressive recycling partner PolyAl Pro PH- they are turned into a sustainable and DURABLE consturction material.

Send them to us and we'll recycle them responsibly.

Green Trident wants you to ✌️ before you throw your plastics and remember that they can be recycled.

They are not accepting big appliances for this final run since they only brought the small van with them.

DO NOT EVER throw used cooking oil down the drain because it will lead to a variety of environmental issues. Store it properly and ensure it will be taken away by an authorized collector.
We are a DENR-accredited UCO (used cooking oil) waste collector. For UCO collection this coming weekend, send us a PM or text/call us at (0917) 672-1997. We will collect your used cooking oil. 🌱

“The amount of waste generated by humanity represents a growing threat to our ecosystems and economies. The output of solid waste has grown from 25 gigatons (yes, that’s 25 billion tons) in 1990 to 86 gigatons in 2020 – and a projected 140 gigatons by 2050.

This expansion exceeds population growth, and is the result of a disposable-goods system that combines short-term use and long-term environmental harm. Half of all plastic production is for single-use items. To get a sense of how ephemeral a “single use” can be, consider that the average working life of a disposable plastic shopping bag is just 15 minutes.”

Pollution created by single-use plastic items is a growing threat to the planet and economy. A system based on reuse would create new sources of value.
