Non-traditional trash pickup #2
This campaign picks up everything, especially items that might harbor water and insects (mosquitos). They do NOT receive garden waste, leftover construction waste or milled lumber/wood.
2026 Neighborhood Recycling Schedule
The image at right shows recycling for the entire Grecia area for 2026.
See the color-coded symbols at the bottom of the image to find your neighborhood and when the collectors will be in your area.
There are also 2 phone numbers to call with questions, have your Spanish in hand.
What can be recycled?
Hopefully your Spanish is good enough that you can understand these images. The regular neighborhood recycling kiosks will NOT take batteries, light bulbs, ceramics, used paper, paper plates/glasses; window glass or windshields; styrofoam; or construction debris.
It's also useful to know how long these things last in the environment and why it's so important to recycle!
AND....
About Recycling Batteries in Grecia AND Sarchi
Update:
Apparently it's still okay to take old batteries to the ICE office - not only in Grecia but ALSO in Sarchi! Make a note.
I was asked to report on where to recycle batteries.
In Grecia, the small ones (AA, AAA, 9 V, etc.) can be recycled at ICE. Just show the guard your bag and empty it in the recycling container in the lobby.
Larger batteries - we had three huge “battery back-ups” from our computer and TV, which finally died - they were a bit harder to expose of. We finally were told about “Super Batterias”, a store on the radial, towards the pista. On the left-hand side as your heading out of Grecia, shortly after the Matrix exercise center, approximately 100 m past the CCSS offices - and indeed, they took our huge and heavy batteries and promised to recycle them. Mission accomplished!
