Recycling in San Ramón

On March 17, 2010, we toured and learned more about the recycling center in San Juan.  Supporting the recycling effort and the women’s cooperative, COFERENE (Colectivo Femenino Rescatando Nuestra Ecologia), that runs the local recycling center is consistent with the Community Action Alliance's commitment to the environment. Directions to the CONFERENE Recycling Center: from Maxi Bodega head north, turn right at the gas station at the bottom of the hill, the center is 400 meters straight ahead on the right. Following is a chart of what materials can be recycled and which ones can't, some photos of the seminar, and a video of the presentation given by COFERENE staff.
