Curaçao Clean Up Foundation
The Curaçao Clean Up Foundation focuses on various aspects of recycling as part of their mission to promote environmental sustainability. Here are some key elements they emphasize:
- Materials Recycled are plastic bottles, closures and aluminum cans
Curaçao Clean Up encourages the collection and recycling of different types of plastic bottles. They educate the community about sorting plastics by plastic type to ensure efficient recycling. Also, the foundation organizes the collection of aluminum cans. Recycling metals helps reduce the need for new raw materials and saves energy.

These points are strategically located to maximize convenience and participation. The Curaçao Clean Up in close cooperation with Curaçao Tourism Bureau and Coca-Cola Foundation has placed two recycling centers at:
