Just a reminder to everyone that this Friday July 4th, at the Municipal Plaza, they will be accepting recyclable items.
I also have made inquiries with the directors of Parque la Ceiba to see if they are taking recycling on a regular basis. Laurab gave me the heads up that this may be a possibility for those of us who cannot collect our items for a whole month.
Many people living in Playa del Carmen have limited space for storage of recyclable items. Now that schools are out for the summer and their internal recycling programs are suspended, we are left waiting for the first Friday of every month. Many people are not able to keep all of their recycling for so long and, inevitably, dispose of items that they would otherwise turn in. If it is possible for people to drop off recycling at the park, that would be a very useful option.
I hope to hear back from them soon! Until then, the items that may be turned in tomorrow is posted below.
