No, with the exception of specific types of special waste. Please see our information here (link) on materials accepted at NPEP.
Yes. NPEP shreds waste tires for beneficial re-use.
Yes. NPEP grinds up all separated green waste and puts it out in windrows (long rows about 10’wide x 6’high) to “compost” which is the natural process of organic material breaking down into a soil like material. Green waste makes up nearly 20% of the waste that is brought into the landfill, by diverting it to compost we are saving space in the landfill, avoiding harmful gases that form when it is buried and creating a soil like material for use on the landfill itself. This is all part of NPEP’s sustainability policy to divert as much material away from the landfill and recycle it into useful products.
We encourage all residents and businesses to keep their green waste away from their garbage and get it to the landfill separately. This way we
can capture more organic material and save much more landfill space for future garbage needs.
Compost is organic matter that has been decomposed in a process called composting. This process recycles various organic materials otherwise regarded as waste products and produces a soil conditioner.
Not yet. The Government of the Bahamas and NPEP will be working together on some initiatives to try to expand the composting program in the Bahamas to include food waste in the coming years.

Yes. NPEP accepts e-waste and is in the process of developing a new e-waste
processing facility that will safely prepare the e-waste for shipment to a qualified recycler.
Yes, but only with an appointment and fees may apply. Please contact [ ].
With the aggressive recycling and waste reduction methods employed at the NPEP, the facility is projected to last at least [50] years.
