Recycle with clean points

In 2012, AES Dominicana developed the “Recycle with Clean Points” environmental program with our local power plants. The program seeks to increase awareness about the importance of recycling plastic and paper by promoting a culture centered on the 3Rs (reduce, reuse and recycle) and helping people become agents of environmental change.

The project not only educates on recycling best practices, but also covers topics such as waste destinations. Initially, the project started in the communities of Bajos de Haina and Boca Chica, where 32 educational centers participates and received training on the 3Rs as part of the "Recicla with Clean Points" contest. Thanks to the program’s success, it was replicated in the community of Los Mina as part of the combined cycle power plant’s social program. AES Dominicana volunteers facilitated the education program and empowered the participants to take responsible environmental action.
