The move to save mother earth need not be big. In fact it can start in your very own home. Segregating trash, to recycle and reuse, will hep the environment.

This is what Evangeline Hernaez, Julienne Mumar and Al Perono have been doing. Three Davao City residents who participated in NCCC Cares' Buy Back Fair held September 25 at NCCC Mall Davao, Parking C.

On October 30, the Buy Back Fair returned to Parking C of NCCC Mall Davao to accommodate more recyclers. Collections started from 8am until 5pm.

First time participant Evangeline, a resident of Ma-a, said that "Sayang kung ilabay lang namo ang mga butang na magamit pa. Our waste might be treasure to others." She added that it is a must for every household to do waste segregation to minimize the garbage in the city. Evangeline donated old books and magazines of her children as well as e-wastes like air conditioner, water dispenser and clothes dryer.

College student Julienne is an ardent supporter of various scrap buying activities. Like the others, she is thankful for the opportunity to turn her trash into cash. "Usa ni ka paagi aron maka-kwarta ko ug extra aside sa akong allowance." 

"To avoid getting caught with dengue fever,"  Al cites this reason why he turned in 316 kilos of rubber tires from his backyard. ?Kaysa puy-an siya ug lamok na hinungdan sa dengue, ako na kining gibaligya.?

There were also stores inside NCCC Mall Davao that participated in the fair such as Dennis the Grill Boy, Time Zone and South Brews Coffee Shop. The said stores donated bottles, cartons, tin cans and newspapers.  Time Zone and South Brews are first-time donors of scrap items.

We regularly participate in this activity because it helps us dispose our garbage properly, says Gerlie Rocacurva, assistant supervisor of Dennis the Grill Boy.

For the month of September, a total of 1,026.6 kilos of scrap were collected. Papers and cartons were the most donated items along with rubber tires and e-wastes.

Davao-based retail chain opens HB1, Breadfactory and Munccchies in more residential areas.

    On May 26 , Calinan residents  woke up to a new morning with breads, pastries and snack items from Breadfactory and Munccchies. Located across the Calinan Public Market, the ninth store brings its choice breads closer to shoppers of NCCC Supermarket.

    "Unlike our previous outlets, we merged Breadfactory and Munccchies in Calinan to bring affordable products, not only to nearby residents, but also travelers leaving the city. Ngayon pwede ng bitbitin ang sarap (Now, shoppers can bring good taste). Our counters are easily located along the National Highway," adds Operations Director Arachel Ravago.    

    On the same day, the 300-square meter HB1 store at the entrance of Ruby Subdivision at Catalunan Grande offers residents with the ease of a pharmacy and a convenience store in one.

    ?HB1 is all about bringing daily consumer items closer to growing communities outside of the city's central district. We aim to help customers save on transportation costs while getting the same items from other NCCC outlets,? says Reescy Delos Reyes, HB1 Operations Director.

    Aside from providing affordable medicines, health and beauty care products, and basic items, the 16th HB1 store also includes food items, office and school supplies, and houseware items.

    Calinan proper and Catalunan Grande are accessible by public transport and can be reached  45 minutes and 15 minutes, respectively  from the city's government center.  Both areas are largely residential.

    In 2003,  New City Commercial Complex's (NCCC) growth fueled the expansion of its pharmacy and  food retail operations. Since 1978, the supermarket and department store along Ramon Magsaysay Avenue where NCCC Main Magsaysay stands still provides its customers with the best priced quality products.

    HB1, Breadfactory and Munccchies are affiliated with the NCCC Group of Companies in Davao, and the cities of Tagum and Puerto Princesa in Palawan.

?We would however encourage interested residents and groups to turn over election materials on May 29 instead,? says Tong Lumtan, Buy Back Fair coordinator for NCCC Cares.

Paper shavings from pasted materials on walls and posts can be collected in a sack instead of leaving it on roads and alleys that clog drainage areas. ?The paper shavings can be sold per kilo,? adds Lumtan.

Also sold per kilo are old books, newspapers and magazines; corrugated boxes, tin and aluminum cans, galvanized iron and other metals; plastic furniture, plastic bags, PET bottles; and sea shells like talaba and kuhol.
