Manila, Nov. 18 -- The Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) has partnered with Jollibee Foods Corporation (Jollibee) for a plastic recycling program that aims to strengthen community engagement through rewards.

In a press conference at the MMDA headquarters in Pasig City on Tuesday, MMDA Chair Romando "Don" Artes said the Plastic Waste Recovery and Rewards Program would allow the public to exchange seven kilograms of plastic trash for a PHP100 Jollibee gift certificate.

"Through this initiative, residents are more empowered to collect and segregate waste, starting from their homes, with barangays having organized systems and the Integrated Solid Waste Management Facility (ISWMF) serving as the collection point," Artes said....
