Do People Recycle?Yes!

Many Tourist Spots, Restaurants, and Parks have recycling bins . People in

the city are given specific bins (just like the U.S.) to place recycled materials.

N o!In the Indigenous Communities

people are used to throwing trash on the ground. It is

something new for them to have a recycling program or even a garbage collector.

Why Not?People are becoming more

interested but there are also people who are lazy just like in the U.S. and do not think it is worth their

efforts.
