Recycling Etiquette in Botswana

Recycling is not yet a strong everyday habit in Botswana, so travelers should not expect the kind of widespread curbside sorting or public recycling bins common in some other countries. In Gaborone and a few larger centers you may find private collection points or NGO-led initiatives, but most households still treat waste as mixed rubbish, so it is best to separate recyclables only if your hotel or host specifically asks for it.
