Recycle, Reuse, Reduce

Recycling in St. Kitts!
I am one of 13 blessed Peace Corps Volunteers who arrived in the Federation of St. Kitts/Nevis on August 18, 2007. The country is 2 main peaceful sister islands in the eastern caribbean. We finished training and were sworn in on September 14, 2007. Currently there are no recycling facilities on either St. Kitts or Nevis. The director of the SK Solid Waste Management Authority is also a former Associate Peace Corps Director! There is at least one local brewery (Carib) on SK that encourages the return and reuse of glass bottles and one water bottling company (Island Purified Water) that does the same for plastics. There are no separation bins to sort recyclable items and so, the new landfill that they thought would last 15 years is almost full, uncovered, and extremely oderous.
