Hi, Everyone!

Hope you are enjoying your summer.

Vallarta Verde is a "citizen organization" so it's basically people that live, work and visit here in Puerto Vallarta wanting to protect our green spaces, wildlife, heritage and customs.

We are proud to advise you that our Plastic Bottle Recycling Program has been in effect since June and is doing fabulous! And, this is "slow season," so imagine the progress we will make once more people are here in PV - we can raise more funds, we can place more receptacles around town and will have more volunteers to help.

We now have 20 containers around town in Puerto Vallarta as receptacles for your plastic bottles. It would be great if everybody saves, rinses, crushes and brings them to any of the following locations:

• Uncommon Grounds (Lazaro Cardenas #625)

• Salud Super Food (Olas Altas #534-A)

• Gringo Loco (corner of Madero & Jacarandas)

• Acqua Day Spa & Gym (corner of Constitucion and Francisca Rodriguez #450)

• La Roca Cardio Gym (Calle Peru behind Teatro Vallarta)

• Baca Fruit Market (Em. Zapata Mercado on Lazaro Cardenas)

• Memo’s Coco Stand (1/2 block east of Baca on Cardenas)

• Lavanderia (Corner of Aquiles Serdan & Madero)

• Calle Invierno (Col. Caloso)

• Isla Cuale Cultural Center (by suspension bridge on Aquiles Serdan), 3 containers

• Calle Rivera del Rio (dirt road behind Uncommon Grounds), 5 containers

• Pre-existing on Calle Guerrero (Centro), 3 containers

A Huge Thank You to all those involved in making the program a reality. Please help support those businesses that are helping support this program.
