Supreme Ventures Racing and Entertainment Limited (SVREL), operators of Caymanas Park, will spearhead a Caymanas Community Recycling Day in Portmore this Sunday March 30.
The event, organized in collaboration with Recycling Partners of Jamaica and the Supreme Ventures Foundation, promotes sustainable practices and raises awareness about the importance of recycling in preserving the environment in Jamaica, and specifically Portmore and its environs.
The initiative follows a 2023 agreement between Caymanas Park and Recycling Partners of Jamaica (RPJ) designating the iconic Park an official RPJ Drop Off Location.
Last year the team at Caymanas Park, used the date to educate individuals on the importance of recycling for a greener, healthier future and of course give residents of the local community a convenient option to responsibly dispose of their plastic waste by dropping them off at the park and preventing them from entering the environment. “At Caymanas Park, we understand the significance of sustainable practices in safeguarding our environment. We are happy to lead this Caymanas Community Recycling Day initiative, bringing together the community, local businesses, and everyday Jamaicans who care about the environment to create a positive impact,” commented Aswanda Stoddart, AVP Administration at Caymanas Park.
This Sunday, attendees will also be feted to entertainment provided by Portmore-based media entity, SunCity Radio. Residents and other interested participants are encouraged to bring their HDPE and PET bottles for proper disposal and recycling.
Acting Marketing and Public Relations Manager for Recycling Partners of Jamaica, Kimeesha Campbell Douglas, is looking forward to this weekend, “We’ve strived to ensure our Global Recycling Day commemoration activities are impactful, since 2021. This year, through this partnership with Caymanas Park and other partners, we hope to continue to make a difference in the surrounding communities of the Park and establish a sustainable momentum of recycling plastic bottles through the knowledge of the park being a drop off point. Sunday will give us opportunity to further educate on what to recycle, how and of course, why. Portmore is home to our largest depot, located in Naggo Head, so we are aiming to establish Portmore as a recycling city, one initiative at a time.”
World Recycling Day is observed annually on March 18.
