Cozumel’s Centro de Acopio de Materiales Reciclables (CAMAR) recently reported that 640 tons of waste was recycled from the island in 2012.  Of that waste, the largest amount was 476 tons of cardboard.

During certain periods of the year, CAMAR working alongside city officials permits the collection of large waste, such as household appliances, or currently, your old Christmas tree.  In fact, Christmas trees are currently being accepted in the Environmental Park, loced on Av. 65 and c. 31 in Colonia Marvilla.

An ex-Connecticut Yankee who has called Cozumel home for over 18 years, Laura ran away to the Caribbean years ago, bumped around the islands teaching SCUBA diving, lost some time in Jamaica, and finally stopped in Cozumel for a 2 week vacation that hasn’t ended yet. With a degree in Journalism from a fancy private college she convinced her parents to pay for, Laura writes, edits, and creates the weekly Cozumel 4 You news, social media, and promotional articles about the island, as well as moderates the Cozumel 4 You Facebook group, which currently has over 25,000 members. Her long suffering husband, Fabian, has long since resigned himself to having zero private life, as he’s been involved in her various schemes and plots since his arrival. Proud parents to a variety of rescue dogs and cats, Laura continues to be the bane of her traditional Mexican mother-in-law’s existence, as she muses her way through life in the Mexican Caribbean. ______________________________ Una ex yanqui de Connecticut quien llama hogar a Cozumel desde hace más de 15 años.
