The Government of Antigua and Barbuda will be relaunching the Plastic Waste Free Island Project on July 4th, 2022. CLICK HERE TO JOING OUR WHATS APP GROUP

This resumption will focus on the collection of bottles that participants have been storing since the end in 2021.

Operations will continue on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays from 9:00 am to 3:30 pm daily.

The locations are adjacent Epicurean Fine Foods & Pharmacy Supermarket on Epicurean Drive, Ebenezer Plaza South Mall and Crab Hole Liquors, Cobb’s Cross, and on All Saints Road in the proximity of Fresh and Easy Supermarket on Saturdays.

Participants in the pilot phase are asked to continue using their voucher booklets. New participants will be awarded new voucher booklets to collect their reward.

It is important to note that for payment to be made on the return of soda and water bottles withcode origin, bottles should be presented clean with NO caps, be transparent and not dirty or damaged nor containing any liquid.

Redemption of awards will continue through all local telecommunication companies (Flow, APUA Inet, and Digicel), along with cash back from the Department of Environment.

Plastic pollution is having a colossal impact on our ecosystems, economies and our ocean both locally and worldwide.

The Ministry apologises for the delay in restarting the project and wishes to thank the public for their patience.

Nevertheless, the Ministry looks forward to continued collaboration with the general public in green initiatives aimed at strengthening our environmental sustainability thus contributing to our overall health.

Turn your trash into cash, at the plastic bottle recycling depot!
