Waste management and community engagement

As part of the organizational principles at the CCCR we ensure the correct use and treatment of waste generated in each of the events.

Since its opening, the CCCR adheres to the National Recycling Strategy that consists of the separation and labelling of solid waste. It is hand in hand with social organizations such as Yo Hago El Cambio that makes possible an alliance that provides a service of treatment and recycling of materials such as plastic, glass, paper, cardboard, and electronics in our facilities.

From January to June 2018, a total of 1924.5 kilos of recyclable material was treated: in detail:

425 kilos of organics (23.49% food); 171.5 kilos and 0.5 kilos of packaging (8.91% plastic and 0.03% Tetra pack, respectively); 6 kilos of aluminium (0.31% cans); 854 kilos of paper and cardboard (44.40% cardboard tied in bales); 440 kilos of glass (22.86% bottles).

Guided tours: unique experiences for our visitors

The CCCR has opened its doors and developed unique experiences for our visitors to learn about our areas and share information about the main sustainable features of the Center.

Recently we had visits from students from schools and universities such as Colegio de Bagaces, Universidad Nacional, Universidad Técnica Nacional, and Universidad de Costa Rica, with whom we shared a guided tour showing the benefits of the site.
