Help us address the garbage situation for our area!

By building a waste transfer station in Cobano, we can significantly reduce the amount of garbage on our streets.

The PROBLEM: Right now garbage in the Santa-Teresa & Cobano district areas is hauled 146 km roundtrip to Santa Cruz, forcing trucks to spend more time on the road than collecting waste. Each trip takes over 11 hours, consumes 180 liters of diesel, and causes frequent breakdowns, leaving some communities waiting weeks for trash pickup.

The result is garbage piling on the streets, unsanitary conditions, and damage to Santa Teresa’s reputation as a world-class destination, making waste management one of the district’s most urgent challenges.

The Waste Transfer Station will address this quickly and easily!

The solution is to build a waste transfer station in Cóbano, modeled after a proven model in Tilaran, Costa Rica. Instead of each truck driving 146 km to Santa Cruz, local garbage trucks will unload at the station into large containers. A single semi-truck will then make fewer, more efficient trips to the dump.

This means faster and more reliable pickups, fewer breakdowns, lower costs, and cleaner streets across the district, creating the foundation for future composting and recycling initiatives.
