I've noticed recycle bins around town for plasticos, which are well maintained. Out by the student garden I don't see any sign of a recycling set-up. We put some cans in a separate container by the trash and the happy santary workers just dumped them in with everything else. Is there a place for can recycling? Cardboard? The las hormigas site looks like people are still placing things there, but I understand that is no longer the place.

Thanks for your interest in recycling.
The recycling program, formerly managed by a committee of La Manzanilla Hermosa, is now in transition. The basureros working for the Ayuntamiento of La Huerta are still picking up trash and recycling. Plastic is still going to the Las Hormigas site behind the Primary School, but there is currently no oversight for the program. This may change in the future.
I know it's frustrating to not have a working recycling program like we tried to achieve over the past 2 1/2 years.
For right now, the best suggestion I have for everyone is to bring your plastic to the various recycle bins around town, like the fish by the jardin. If you have a car you can bring your stuff to the recycle site outside Melaque.
What happens next is up to those La Huerta officials who are responsible for solid waste collection, and any other volunteers who may step up.
Since I have formally resigned from the committee, please direct any questions or complaints to the Delegado.
