Recycling Etiquette in Moldova

Recycling is still limited in many parts of Moldova, so travelers should not expect the same level of sorting bins or curbside collection found in Western Europe. In Chisinau and a few larger towns you may see separate containers for paper, plastic, glass, and metal, but many households and businesses still rely on mixed waste disposal, so it is best to follow the bins that are actually provided rather than assuming a universal recycling system.
