Moca is a municipality in the Aguadilla–Isabela–San Sebastián metro area of northwestern Puerto Rico, home to two recycling-related facilities: a municipal recycling program run by the Municipio de Moca and a private auto salvage yard on Carretera 420.
Centro Municipal de Reciclaje de Moca is the municipio's public recycling program, collecting plastic bottles (water, juice, milk, soda, detergent, bleach), aluminum cans, corrugated cardboard, office and colored paper, books, newspaper, and textiles. Materials must be rinsed, cap-free, and sorted into blue or clear bags. Textile drop-off containers for clothing, shoes, and linens are sited at Supermercado Selectos, Supermercado Mr. Special, and the Coliseo Dr. Juan Sánchez Acevedo. There is no listed fee, and no residency restriction was stated.
