Recycling in the DR?

Good suggestion, indeed.
Normally they have dozens (depending on the size of the village...) and in some places every household has its 'plant' of its own.
Incorrigible?

There is a fair amount of 'burning on the backroads' of everything. Every little village has a place where they burn their garbage. These are not plants, these are just spots to burn stuff.

As a matter of fact, we did a Green Team blog piece ("Smoke Signals") on this very issue the past spring. Read it at this link.

Does anyone know if they do actually recycle around sosua/cab?

I was at the Playero recently at their 'back' warehouse and the Pepsi guy was there. He took back a number of bottles (counted them even), but when I started asking questions, all I got was a "no se, no se" from the three guys standing around, looking at me like I was crazy. If I hadn't been waiting for something for 30 minutes already and just shown a glimmer of hope by the manager of the warehouse, I would have chased the Pepsi truck down to ask him.....

Plastic, paper, glass, organic, I'll recycle, just show me where!

anyone??
