It’s never too late to go green. Taking the first step may seem like a challenge, but there are lots of things you can do with the help of amazing eco-conscious initiatives to better the environment and lessen your carbon footprint.

Here are some places that will pick up your recycling around Lebanon:


1. Live Love Recycle

Due to the current fuel crisis, they’re now operating at 60% capacity




2. arcenciel.org

This NGO was established in 1985 to help those affected during the Civil War. They’ve also dedicated a great deal to recycling and set up different collection points where you can drop off your recyclables (including plastic, cans, cardboard, and paper). You can find the drop off bins in Jounieh, Clemenceau, or their headquarters in Jisr Al Wati.

They also have a bunch of special bins scattered across Beirut where you can safely dispose of your E-waste!






4. Recycle Lebanon

This initiative is turning their recyclables into stand up paddle boards and fibres for product ecodesign. This is done through cigarette recycling! Cigarette plastics contain a lot of toxins, so once collected, you can drop them off at Ecosouk in Hamra and watch the magic happen!
