BACOLOD CITY – The city government here and its garbage collection contractor IPM-Construction and Development Corp. (IPM-CDC) launched on Monday the "Trash to Cashback” program that provides incentives for recyclable items brought to the community drop-off centers.
Mayor Alfredo Abelardo Benitez said the program is one way to achieve effective zero waste management, which is one of his administration's priority programs.

We are thinking that if the trash has value and we can get something out of it, you would not want to throw it away anymore,” Benitez said in his talk before the city employees during the flag-raising ceremony at the Bacolod Government Center grounds.
