Recycling is still limited in Cambodia, so travelers should not expect the same curbside sorting or bottle-deposit habits found in many Western countries; in cities, waste is often mixed and informal collectors or scrap buyers handle most recoverable materials. If you want to recycle, separate plastics, cans, and glass yourself and ask at your hotel, café, or a local recycling shop, since organized drop-off points are more common in
Phnom Penh and
Siem Reap than in smaller towns.
