You can drop off your recycling in Coronado; however, there is no curbside recycling service here. Residents and visitors in Coronado can and are encouraged to recycle. Here’s how:

Coronado Novey Plaza

Located beside the Filipe Motta in the Coronado Las Pergalas plaza, there are recycling receptacles outside on the right side of the building.

Accepted materials include plastic, cans, tetra packs and glass. 

It’s essential to sort your items before dropping them off, as proper placement in the bins is required. Sorting beforehand may provide a quicker and more convenient experience. There is also limited space so you may want to consider visiting more often.

Situated in Nueva Gorgona, directly across the highway from the Gorgona entrance, this center accepts sorted cans, metal, and batteries. 

They even offer payment for cans, batteries, and aluminum.

Recimetal SA operates daily from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Making a Difference

Although recycling may pose challenges in this area, it remains achievable. One of the biggest things you can do is to reduce the amount of one-use plastic in your life. Opting for reusable alternatives, such as cloth bags, stainless steel water bottles, and glass containers, can significantly decrease plastic waste.

Reusable fruit bags are another effective strategy. Finally, participate in or organize community clean-up events. These initiatives not only help keep our local environment clean but also raise awareness about the importance of responsible waste management.
