Recycling in Catano: A Local Guide
Cataño is a compact municipality on the western shore of San Juan Bay in Puerto Rico's metropolitan area, and it is home to two distinct recycling-related facilities. Neither operates as a conventional public walk-in drop-off center, so residents should contact each facility directly before making a trip.
EC Waste – Metro at Calle A Lote 5 (Carr 869 Km 4.2), Barrio Palmas, is one of the hauling and distribution hubs for EC Waste LLC — Puerto Rico's largest vertically integrated non-hazardous solid waste company. The Cataño Metro site is a fleet depot, not a public drop-off location. Residential and commercial customers who need curbside waste collection, container service, construction/demolition waste pickup, or municipal contracts can reach EC Waste at (787) 852-4444 or through ecwaste.com to arrange service.
E-Cycling Puerto Rico, located in the Parque Industrial Cataño area off Road #3 in Humacao, is the only carrier in the Caribbean to hold R2v3, ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 45001 certifications. It specializes in electronic-equipment recycling (computers, TVs, and other obsolete electronics), battery recycling, and fluorescent lamp/tube recycling, as well as secure data destruction and IT asset management. The company primarily serves corporate, industrial, financial, banking, retail, and telecom clients. Hours are reported as Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Because it is a business-to-business operation, individuals and small businesses should call (787) 285-5686 before visiting to confirm whether walk-in drop-off is accepted.
