Green Recovery Story from Santiago, Chile

How can cities make a Green Recovery happen?  Have residents join in on the action!

That’s what Santiago, Chile is doing through the “Recycle at Your Fair” initiative. Each day, except for Tuesday, the @medioambientestgo team travels with a recycling cart to a different fair in Santiago, Chile, where local residents can arrive with their recyclables and receive guidance on how to better manage waste inside and outside their home. Recycled items are then recovered by the city with assured traceability.

How is your city Going Green? Tag us or drop your thoughts in the comments on GCoM’s Instagram page.
