While the will to recycle in Mauritius grows, the resources to do so are often scarce. The Island has previously lacked sufficient recycling facilities, collection systems, and sorting centers to handle and process recyclable materials effectively. Nowadays, these are growing yet the public is unaware. Additionally, it is assumed that when one disposes of their trash in recycling bins, it does indeed get recycled but often times, they all end up in a landfill together. Plastics have been known to end up back in landfills, despite the effort to dispose of them in recycling bins. This website is thus a tool to guide Mauritians willing to take the extra step of getting their trash to the right places and organisations, offering a comprehensive guide to recycling in Mauritius, and the several organisations that offer these facilities. To ease your recycling and find organisations close by, locations have been provided for each one.
