The proposed schools who will implement the ecosavers program are: San Gabriel 1 Elementary School, San Gabriel 2 Elementary School, Area J Elementary School, and General Mariano Alvarez Technical High School. Aside from these schools, the implementing partners are the LGU-GMA and the GMA-Junkshop Scrappers Association.

The program seeks to promote innovative and practical approach that would encourage segregation and recovery of recyclables. The recyclables collected will be used in exchange for basic educational supplies and basic household needs. In addition, ecosaver program will help encourage recycling at source and provide regular source of “materials” for junkshop association, thus contributing to local development. Best of all, the program will teach the sense of value and environmental consciousness amongst schoolchildren and their families.

The Ecosaver Programs have been implemented in Marikina City, Quezon City, Pasig City and Silang Cavite, among others. SWAPP would like to replicate the learning’s from these LGUs to be able to generate the active participation of the schools in the solid waste program of the municipal government.

The expected result of this program will be measured by the performance of participating schools, namely: 100% of the students and teachers are participating in the ecosavers program; progress of students and teachers to generate income/points from the sales of recyclables; and the target schools have become advocates of segregation and recycling in their community.
