GREAT news for Tamarindo (and the local environment): We now have a bi-monthly recycling program. It doesn't have all the convenience of what most North Americans are accustomed to doing, but it isn't all the tough to gather stuff for two weeks at a time, then drop it off. I'm sure they'll be working kinks out of the system for a while as well. But it is exciting that we can recycle now and should help keep our landfills from overfilling. More personally, it means that I no longer have to save my used batteries up for months and months then tote them up to the states to recycle them. Used batteries are full of all manner of nasty chemicals- please don't throw them in the garbage. Nuff outta me, it's a beautiful day, I'm going to go check out a great property we just got listed-- 7.5Ha with Ocean views at a really low price. If you or anyone you know is interested in doing a small, green development project in Costa Rica, send them my way!
