  • EcoYard plastic upcycling and community programme

    Current organisation page describes a Jamaica youth movement using community cleanups, education and upcycling to address plastic pollution. Confirm its base, current contact, public material intake, event calendar, accepted plastics and whether recovered material is transferred to another processor.

  • International Coastal Cleanup Jamaica coordination

    JET coordinates and documents International Coastal Cleanup activity and publishes current Jamaica site information. This is periodic event-based collection and marine-litter data gathering, not a permanent drop-off. Confirm active sites, registration, material sorting and downstream destinations for each event.

  • KFC Jamaica Harvest food-rescue programme

    KFC Jamaica states that restaurants contribute unsold chicken daily to nearby selected homes, and 2025 reporting says the Harvest programme collects, stores and redistributes safe unsold food from all 42 KFC locations to homes, shelters and charities. This is a controlled donation programme, not public food drop-off. Confirm the current recipient network, food-safety controls, collection schedule and whether other restaurants can participate or replicate the model.

  • JAMU Food Bank national food-donation network

    The JAMU Food Bank says it sources and distributes food across Jamaica through five regional conferences covering all parishes and accepts food and financial donations. Confirm accepted food types, expiry and packaging rules, commercial-surplus acceptance, cold-chain capacity, drop-off hours and regional handover locations before directing perishable or business-generated food.

  • Wisynco producer-funded packaging recovery partnership

    Wisynco documents its producer-funded deposit and recovery partnership with RPJ, which accepts PET and HDPE bottles regardless of manufacturer, and its 2025 report records continued national collection expansion. Use RPJ location records for public directions rather than sending users to the factory. Confirm any separate industrial packaging, shrink-wrap, pallet or production-scrap routes at Wisynco facilities.

  • RPJ national schools recycling programme

    RPJ’s current school programme provides receptacles, collection support, educational material and training and allows schools to earn funds for PET and HDPE bottles. This is an enrolment programme rather than unrestricted public drop-off. Confirm participating schools, application criteria, collection thresholds, payment terms and whether surrounding communities may contribute through a school.
