Recycling in Guayama: A Local Guide
Guayama, located in southeastern Puerto Rico in the municipality of the same name, has two listed solid-waste and recycling facilities in the Barrio Pozo Hondo area. Neither operates as a conventional household recycling drop-off, so residents planning a visit should call ahead to confirm what each facility accepts and whether walk-in access is available.
The Vertedero Municipal de Guayama is the municipal landfill serving Guayama, a solid-waste disposal site rather than a recycling center. It has continued operating with federal support despite earlier closure plans by Puerto Rico's environmental authority (DRNA). Hours and accepted loads are not published online; call 787-864-0600 before hauling any material.
JDJ Recycling Guayama Corp, at PR-7711 KM 3.0 in Barrio Pozo Hondo, is a DRNA-authorized scrap-tire transporter and exporter that also produces and sells organic compost. It primarily serves municipalities and commercial haulers. DRNA-regulated export rates apply to whole, compacted, shredded, or pulverized tires. Call 787-864-7415 or email jdjrecycling@gmail.com before bringing any material, as public walk-in access is not confirmed.
For household recycling programs in Puerto Rico, contact the Municipio Autónomo de Guayama or check with Reciclamos PR, which coordinates the island-wide recycling program. Availability of curbside or drop-off recycling varies by municipality.
