How it Started
In May 2013 Past President Kadi Merren-Pentney of the Kiwanis Club of Grand Cayman contacted the Presidents of the Rotary and Lions Clubs on island about starting a joint initiative to do a project together that was too big for any of the clubs to do on their own.
Immediately all club Presidents were on board and together they decided recycling was an important issue that they felt residence needed more information on to make it easier to reduce and reuse!
Immediately after their first social with all clubs uniting in July 2013, Gina McBryan of Rotary Sunrise 'joined in' to start a Facebook page and start promoting recycling and the Rotaract Club of Grand Cayman and Business & Professional Women's Club also showed their support of the project.
The initiative started with two supermarket awareness campaigns where all clubs came together in bright green shirts to hand out business cards with information on how and where you can recycle in Cayman and are now starting competitions in all of the schools to encourage our youth to recycle!
If your Business or group is interested in Joining In and learning more about how they can make recycling a part of their daily lives please contact us at

Landfilling is Not a Sustainable Solution
Landfills are the largest source of human caused methane, a greenhouse gas 21 times more powerful than carbon dioxide. The "US Environmental Protection Agency" admits all landfill liners will eventually leak and their toxic leachate, or garbage juice, can seep into and contaminate soil and groundwater supplies.
Regen an initiative by the local Government and Dart
A multimillion-dollar project is underway to turn the George Town Landfill site into a green space and build state-of-the-art infrastructure that, when finished, will improve recycling and turn materials that aren’t recycled into electricity to power our homes and businesses. ReGen will help create a cleaner and greener Cayman Islands, for the benefit of the whole community.See: www.regen.ky for more info
