The recycling place is out by DRN. Go out like you are going to Zoni. At the top of the hill beyond the cemetary, turn to the right and drive down a ways. If it's confusing (and it is a bit) just keep going to the end and find someone at the DRN building to tell you what to do. If you don't find it at all, come by the cart, I'll direct you to someplace that works ;)

Hi Debbie, Thanks for the high 5! And fortunately I am not a visitor, but a new (lucky) resident! However, at my job, I get NUMEROUS inquiries about recycling, and am concerned as well. Happy Diving to you!

I believe there are some recycling containers at Melones as well. Closer to town.

There is no such thing as a bad vacation. Some are just better than others.

Unfortunately very often, even in the States, recycling programs are an eyewash. When you have to spend more carbon fuels to collect (or in this matter bring) the recyclables we might be better of just NOT USING SO MUCH!

Recycling is in my (extreme) opinion a way for 1st world people to feel good about themselves. Reuse is the name of the game. If you can use the same bottle 10 times instead of 'recycling it' - often at a higher cost than making it in the first place - then you are making an impact.</rant>

Live the change you want to see!

Enjoy Culebra!

Bumping up... are there any recycling bins in Flamenco or around town for aluminum cans/plastic?

Good afternoon,
There are a couple of bins in town (near Jorge's studio) & also in front of Obras Publicas on the road to Rasaca.

We have our own recycling bins here at the Palmetto, too!

Where can I get my Medalla cans refilled? I would be happy to reuse them 10 times.

It would be nice to relo the DNR recyling containers to the trash drop on the side of the road on the way to Zoni. Or would that make too much sense and get utilized?

Hello! I'm very interested in learning more about recycling efforts in Culebra. I assist with efforts through the Puerto Rico Recycling Partnership. We're currently looking at recycling on Vieques and I was recently delighted to hear that there is some recycling on Culebra!

If you're curious, please visit: prrecycles.org

Would you mind contacting me or perhaps referring me to someone who might know more. Thanks so much!

-Laura

Thank you Laura! I'm really happy to hear about your recycling efforts. It is so important to keep places like Culebra and Vieques and in fact all of Puerto Rico as clean and clear of trash as possible. It's so upsetting to see people littering and just leaving their trash around. Perhaps if there were more trash containers around it might help and more volunteers to pick up trash around the beach and other places. Hopefully it will become more of a priority and more people will make an effort to not litter and to clean up after themselves. People need to care about their environment and take care of it for themselves and their children.
