Think Green keep Aruba Clean

"Solid wastes" are the discarded leftovers of our advanced consumer society. This growing mountain of garbage and trash represents not only an attitude of indifference toward valuable natural resources, but also a serious economic and public health problem.

-Jimmy Carter, 39th President of the United States, Message to the Congress, 23 May 77

It’s up to us to take care of our environment – it’s all in our hands!

As technology improves on a daily basis, and it becomes more affordable to the masses, so does the amount of technology that is discarded....e-waste.

Tons of printer cartridges and other electronic devices currently crowd our landfills, and contaminate our soil, water and food with dangerous materials such as:

lead, cadmium, mercury, unused inks, etc.

What is E-Waste?

Antraco Aruba Recycling is a division of Antraco Aruba Group, that collects e-wastes like ink cartridges and toners.We pick up the e-waste and ship these for recycling abroad.

We feel obligated as an ink and cartridge supplier to educate the community about the danger of ink cartridges and what it can do to the environment.

We will be working directly with local schools and organizations to bring the importance of recycling by providing educational programs and awareness campaigns, so we can keep our landfills free from contamination.
