8 September--Getting on Top of a Mountain of Recyclables

Seven of us met at the recycling center on the 8 of September in Patino to help the new team at ReciCaribe get on top of a literal mountain of recyclables. The work is dirty and gross but rewarded. After this we have no question on what is recyclable here on the Caribbean coast:
Plastics #1 and #2--beverage bottles mostly
Glass--separated to clear and color
Aluminum

Material should be sent in clean, smash the plastic and aluminum, take the top off of the glass.

Things not recyclable at this time: tin cans (beans, tuna), tetrabrik (those cardboard boxes in which comes milk and wine), cardboard, light bulbs, dirty diapers, organic food stuffs, sand, bleck, batteries.

Thanks to
Rolo and Denis of ReciCaribe
Frank of Cabinas Los Almendros
Pamela of Loco Natural Jungle Houses
Ashley of the Finca La Isla Botanical Garden
Bill of Pachamama (the first to volunteer)
Michael Cook--a good neighbor

Alaine of ATEC
and thanks to Tom at Bread and Chocolate for donating treats to keep us going.

And thanks to ReciCaribe for doing what you do and the Biological Corridor too.

We’re getting the next group together. It’s hard work and my muscles hurt for days after, but an important experience for people who care about their community. So far we have
Robert of Banana Azul Lodge
and
Christina of Medicinal Bush Body oils
and
Walter the massuese
and
Alaine and Sheran from ATEC
going on Tuesday the 29th of September.

Three different groups of masseuses have offer to give either a half price hour long massage or a free 20 minute massage if you come help volunteer!
Thanks Walter in Manzanillo
Tup and Ro in Black Beach
and
Dan and Julie and crew at Bliss Spa!
