Recycling Etiquette in Timor-Leste

Recycling is still limited in Timor-Leste, so travelers should not expect the kind of separate curbside bins or formal sorting systems common in larger cities. In practice, people often reuse containers, burn or dispose of waste informally, and in Dili some hotels, NGOs, and shops may collect plastic or cans separately, so it is best to follow whatever sorting instructions a place gives you rather than assuming a national standard.
