Cebu Waste Market Fair

This would be the first step for me in my quest for Going Green. I learned about this during the Sinulog Week, there was a Big Banner talking about this Waste Market Fair thing. At first I was a bit shocked and skeptical since I was wondering if someone would really pay cash for some wasted / disregarded stuff. So I did a little research on my own about this, anything and everything related I could find. I basically stumbled on many websites about this on going “Going Green Phenomenon” and “The Green Revolution” and learned a lot from them.

Although I didn’t earn much cash unlike my friend Carlito (He earned Php700++ from empty ink and toner cartridges) while I earned freakin’ Php15.00 for my 3+ feet high paper scraps; since I am committed to this, I can say It’s the thought that counts. Look at the bright side, I got to clean up my house with those paper clutters and I get a second chance next month and all month to horde wastes (I do not freaking care now if they call me Basurero – meaning Garbage Man in English) and as long as I get cash muwahahahaha..!
The Waste Fair is held for half a day 8am – 12nn every first Saturday once a month. Located @ SM City
