I finally got the address to this great place...Aguacate 7, Centro, 40890. They are so organised and helpful. They take plastic, glass, cardboard, paper and metal cans...I'm not sure if I'm missing anything. I believe they open at 8 am and I know the manager said they are open 7 days a week. (maybe they close at 6 pm). The manager's name is Juan Carlos and his phone number is 755 558 9326..and the office is 554 2082 and ask for the area de reciclaje.

Thanks for this info! Is this a private business or part of the government?

I asked him that question when I was there last and he told me they get government money. It is currently the most organized I have seen it. They are so helpful too.

Do you get MONEY for what you bring them?

Why should THAT matter?
It's the right thing to do.

My thoughts exactly, Emmet.
I drafted a similar reply, then decided against posting,
having seen enough of Midalake's posts to know that there'd be no use…

I have never asked to be paid. I don't bring much aluminum as I only bring what I find on the beach or on the side of the road in Troncones (don't seem to use it in our house). Our county in Colorado has tried to recycle twice (ie, with a center) and went under because of lack of funds and the costs involved. I am pleased that they can provide the service here and I hope they can make enough to keep it afloat. I hope it will encourage people to clean the beach and the countryside (and the city streets).

For a long time, the Bitterroot recycling center here in Montana would take a number of items, among them aluminum for which they would pay. I didn't ask for money; I just donated it. Much to my chagrin, they recently stopped accepting #1 and #2 plastic because there's supposedly no market for it. I find that really distressing, since plastic doesn't decompose and there's so much of it being tossed, including in the oceans. San Francisco is much more forward looking, since they accept #1 through #7 plastic. Everyone gets 3 garbage cans. 1 for compostables, 1 for trash and 1 for all recyclables, which they separate at their facility. Not everything needs to be marketable; some things need to be done because it's the right thing to do. As an aside: I was amazed to find that there is a company in Vienna, Austria that collects only plastic coated paper/cardboard such as milk cartons. They leave boxes at apartment buildings to put it in and collect it regularly.

Rob, perhaps with all your free time :stirpot: you could investigate and if warranted post the details on your info page. We would be glad to make use of it.

At home, we are fortunate to be able to recycle almost anything. A small list of thing that are illegal to put in our land fill: paper/cardboard, plasterboard (there is a small fee for this) metal, plastic, paint, petroleum products, glass bottles, stoves, refrigerators. Next door is the recycling center that also accepts batteries. This move has extended the expected life of the landfill to 2050.

We are continually appalled by the lack of recycling in the USA.

That's the downside of the Capitalist System; nothing's worth doing unless there's a profit to be made.

ALL of my friends and I (in Colorado) recycle....because we feel it's the right thing to do...not for money. Even though the closest recycling center is 20 miles away (of course we wait til we have errands or appointments so as not to WASTE gas!!!) I still remember in the US when they enacted fines for littering...AND they REALLY enforced them...that actually changed things a lot...ie, hardly any more litter. Of course there are people who get money for recycling and I think it helps gives an incentive for people to clean the countryside...those who find it worth it. I would not generalize to say that the US doesn't recycle...almost every city has some program...ie, either curbside pickup or centers. I just got a letter from a friend, who, for the 3rd time has started up a center in our county....because he believes in it...NOT FOR MONEY!
