WILLEMSTAD – The Government of Curaçao has officially concluded the nationwide cleanup campaign Di Bo, Pa Bo, Ku Bo, announcing that more than three million kilos of waste were collected during the second year of the initiative.
The campaign, organized by the government in collaboration with the Ministry of Health, Environment and Nature (Ministry of Health, Environment and Nature), ran from September 20 through December 7, 2025. Over the course of twelve consecutive weekends, residents were given the opportunity to dispose of bulky waste in a responsible manner.
For the campaign, Curaçao was divided into four main regions. In each zone, large waste containers were made available for three weekends. In addition to household waste delivered by residents, cleanup teams also removed refuse from illegal dumping sites across the island.
Throughout the campaign weekends, representatives of the ministry were present to provide information and raise awareness about public health and environmental issues. Residents were also able to collect mosquito control products and rat poison as part of broader efforts to reduce health risks linked to waste and vermin.
With the campaign now concluded, the government and the ministry are urging residents to continue disposing of waste properly on a structural basis. Household waste should be placed in official bins, delivered to authorized collection points, or taken to the Malpais landfill. Recyclable materials are to be separated and disposed of through the appropriate channels.
Residents can find more information about waste streams, recycling options, and collection points through the Waste Guide of Kòrsou and the island’s waste management company, Selikor.
The government emphasized that while the campaign has ended, responsible waste management remains a shared responsibility to protect public health, the environment, and the overall livability of Curaçao.
