Recycling in Isabela: A Local Guide
Isabela, a municipality on Puerto Rico's northwest coast, is served by two recycling facilities that together cover both residential and commercial needs. The municipal program operates the island's own staffed drop-off site, while a private service company keeps the commercial food industry's used cooking oil out of waterways.
Isabela Recicla – Centro De Acopio Municipal is the official free drop-off center run entirely by municipal staff, open Monday through Friday 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM at FXWH+RW4, Isabela, PR 00662. It accepts cardboard (89,000 lbs collected in one reported month), plastic, aluminum, used motor oil and vegetable oil, textiles, mattresses, household appliances, and batteries. Residents of neighboring municipalities are explicitly welcome, and the program offers community pick-up outreach so larger items can be collected directly from communities. Medication collection events are also held periodically on-site.
True Waste Oil Recycling Inc. is a B2B commercial service operating Monday through Friday 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM from Carretera 4494 km 0.9 interior, Bo. Arenales Bajo, Isabela. It provides scheduled collection of used vegetable oil and grease trap cleaning exclusively for restaurants and food-service businesses — it is not a public drop-off facility. The company has held municipal service contracts for used-oil collection with the Municipio de Isabela per Puerto Rico government contract records.
Residents looking to recycle household materials should visit or call Isabela Recicla at (787) 872-1040. Food businesses needing scheduled cooking-oil collection or grease trap cleaning should contact True Waste Oil Recycling at (787) 291-7287 to arrange a service appointment.
