Repair & ReuseBarranquillaSegregate waste at home with Barranquilla recyclersClean streams: dignified work The ASOREBAQ recycler cooperative in Barranquilla works with local leaders on a 41-component programme: Barranquilla Composta y Cultiva, that helps households separate organics and deliver clean dry recyclables. The model mirrors recycler-led organic management in Colombia and Argentina highlighted in the 2025 regional zero-waste report. What you can do - Join neighbourhood sorting workshops run by ASOREBAQ and partner schools. - Separate organics and rinsed recyclables at home before hand-off to the cooperative’s collection routes. Why it matters When recyclers co-design collection, diversion rates rise and livelihoods are formalised, a builder-minded alternative to landfilling mixed waste.
