Support recycler cooperatives managing organics in Buenos Aires

Segregation at source: cooperatives in charge

Argentina’s FACCyR-linked recycler groups manage organic streams where source segregation is in place, a pattern the 2025 regional report pairs with Colombian ANR experiences. Cooperatives such as El Amanecer de los Cartoneros in Villa Fiorito show how sorted organics and recyclables can stay in community hands.

What you can do

  • Sort organics and clean recyclables before cooperative pick-up on your block.
  • Connect your barrio association with a registered cartonero/a cooperative for collection routes.

Why it matters

Recycler-led organics management turns a climate liability into local jobs and compost, without shipping waste out of sight.
