Hi Sima Ramkalowon,

Welcome to Expat.com :)

Can you please introduce yourself?

I don't know exactly where you stay, but I know that some supermarkets have recycling areas available.

probably be a good idea to ask the supermarkets for possible places to recycle.

Vin&Sim

Thanks,  I know that you can recycle things in Grand Baie but I'm not sure if there are any recycling places in Triolet or trou aux biches which are much closer to me.

Hi Priscilla,

Thanks for welcoming me to the expat group.

My name is Sima and I am originally from the UK but I have been living on and off in Mauritius over the last three years so I thought it would be good to join the expat group to get to know more people and make some new friends.

Hello, the only place I've found which recycles glass is the Mauritius Glass Factory in Phoenix. If you bring enough empties (I think 50) you get a free visit!

Do they accept any type of glass bottles/jars etc?

Wandlewed

Yes, I've seen lots of different types. They melt it to make new glass products.

Cool, thanks for this. Will definitely pay them a visit.
