Plastic Bottles & Street People

It seems as though I am surrounded by a sea of plastic bottles everywhere I turn in Lima.




Everyone recommends I buy bottled water (unless I boil the tap water first) which comes in plastic bottles. Soft drinks and many juices also come in plastic bottles.



I feel like I am using too many plastic bottles here in Lima. I try to reuse the bottles as much as I can.



I have asked several different folks how I can recycle...and everyone seems to have the same answer. I am supposed to put the bottles in the trash and let the street people collect them for resell. Maybe I will put them in a separate container and make it easier for them. I wonder what the neighbors would think.
