Machu Pichu

 Yes, welcome to the District of Machupicchu. Where we store our recyclables in lovely green tyveck bags all year round for the tourests to see.

 Another great storage unit filled with bags of recycling. Tons and tons of water bottles are sold in this town to the tourists climbing Machupichu and hanging around in Aguas Calientes. I did not see any toursits with their own refillable water bottle. Not many have the proper water filters or the means to boil their water....or perhaps they are lazy. The folks adminitrating Machu Pichu have lovely recycling recepticals dotting the land, how wonderfull that they will take the guilt off the consumer of the bottles. You would think more folks would notice these caches as EVERYONE passes them.

This last one also has a good amount of metel next to it. These locations are all along the road that the buses take up to Machu Pichu, and there is also one by the train tracks.
My guess is that the cost of labor to put these items on the train and get them out of Machupichu Town (Aguas Calientes) is far greater than the revenue they would receive in return for the plastic, metal, etc...
There happens to be a recycling facility I visted in a town on the rail line about 1.30hrs away, but stopping there might be inconvienent. Or perhaps no one has thought of doing it? It does not seem to be a top priority here in Machupichu town.
