A glass collection campaign aims to encourage people to recycle by rewarding them with the chance to change their broken or whole glass containers for new glasses.
The campaign will take place from November 1st to 30th. The material will be received from Monday to Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. in the facilities of Distribuidora Internacional y Comercial (Distincomer) located in Taras de Cartago.
In addition, a Glass Friday will be held each week in the municipal parks of Esparza, La Unión, Paraíso, Oreamuno, El Guarco, Tibás, Montes de Oca and Heredia, with the support of the Ecolones program.
