It’s such a beautiful town, so to happen upon a random pile of trash just thrown there (but somehow organized in to piles at the same time) was disconcerting. I told HW I would love to organize 100 people or more (tourists + townies, let’s all step up here) and spend the day splitting up and walking up from the coast and collecting trash that’s lying everywhere. That’s a big dream right. But hey, if free food (and drinks?) was offered at the end it could be a real community-tourist event! Too bad I was only there for a week. I don’t want you to think trash is everywhere, it’s not. Maybe 20% of the streets have a good amount of litter. I didn’t notice recycling anywhere either (although keep in mind I was not around the hotel zone) – but I’ve since found out more on recycling in Puerto Vallarta and reasons why this may be the case, on a helpful PV blog I came across, here.

I am interested in finding out the "scoop" about Tower 2000 at Grand Venetian. Why did it take so long to build? someone told me it was going to fall into the ocean. I find that hard to believe. Do you know anything about it? Great Blog! I am interested in finding out the “scoop” about Tower 2000 at Grand Venetian.

I have a question on recycling in PV. I have noticed that two blue recycle bins are located in Sam's (restaurant area) They clearly indicate you can recycle plastic,aluminum,paper and glass. Each time I take my recycling there, the bins appear to be filled with trash from the restaurant. Are these bins actually for recycling and are there any other locations in PV to recycle? thanks Cheryl Naylor Great Blog!
