Review: Laboratorio de reciclaje

If you’re looking for a place to recycle electronics or tyres in central Quito, look no further than Laboratorio de reciclaje at La Carolina park (Avenida de los Shyris y Avenida Portugal).

It took me a very long time to find a place where I could properly recycle my bicycle tyres. I was happy to discover that Laboratorio de reciclaje works with Ecocaucho, who recycles used tyres into various products – such as flooring for playgrounds.

And they also collect electronics waste in partnership with Recitec for electronics recycling.

They also have something of a showroom for some ecologically friendly technologies, including biogas and plastic (composite) lumber.
