Recycling in Manati: A Local Guide
Manatí, a municipality on Puerto Rico's north coast in Manatí County, is served by two recycling-related businesses, each handling a distinct material stream. Neither operates as a general public drop-off for household recyclables such as paper, plastics, or glass; residents needing those services should contact the Municipio de Manatí directly.
Safety-Kleen Manatí Operations, located at KM 51.0 on Highway 2 (ZIP 00674), is a commercial-industrial environmental services branch operated by Safety-Kleen Systems (a Clean Harbors subsidiary). It serves business accounts — automotive shops, dealerships, industrial facilities — with scheduled route pickups of used motor oil, used oil filters, antifreeze, and drummed hazardous and non-hazardous waste. The public cannot drop off materials here; service requires a commercial contract. Businesses can reach the branch at (787) 854-1090 to arrange an account.
D & N Recycling on Carretera 149 in Manatí (ZIP 00674) is a scrap-metal buy-back yard open to anyone with metal to sell. It purchases aluminum cans, aluminum, copper, bronze, batteries, and other ferrous and non-ferrous metals, paying sellers by weight at commodity-market rates. There is no drop-off fee — you bring scrap and get paid. The same company runs a second yard in Barceloneta; both share the phone lines (939) 245-1406 and (939) 245-1398. Call ahead to confirm hours and the day's prices before hauling a load in, as operating hours for the Manatí yard could not be independently verified.
