Trash & Recycling

The purpose of this committee is to address the collection and management of waste in the greater Todos Santos area. There are a number of programs that address trash collection and recycling either started by A.C.T.S. members, or by partnering with other community efforts.

Trash collection

As a reminder, there is a law against burning trash in an effort to improve air quality and the health of local residents. If your trash isn’t collected, read on for your options to ensure your trash is removed properly. Your tax dollars fund trash collection in town and in most neighborhoods in Todos Santos. Keep in mind, service can be suspended if the trash truck needs repair, or if there has been a heavy rain.

Trash drop-off

You can bring your trash to the Las Tunas neighborhood, Calle Las Playitas, across the street from Cleo’s Restaurant, every Saturday 7:30am-9:00am. Suggested donation $50p.

Talk to your neighbor to see if there’s someone who collects the garbage to bring to the dump. They will be able to provide contact information, cost, and other details. Also, consider donating your gently used unwanted items to The Palapa Society for their annual Tianguis which raises funds for scholarships for local children in need.

Please make sure the person you trust to take your trash away goes only to approved, official dump sites. Please report any violations of illegal dumping in residential areas to the Municipal Police. Fines will be levied.
