✎ Corrected 27 Aug 2026 Publication date recorded for 5 sources. What changed →
The Municipality of Lima's Recicla Lima portal lets residents of the historic Cercado de Lima district enter their address to find the formal recycler assigned to their route. It returns the recycler's name, age, how many years they have been doing the work and how many people depend on them — information the city says is there to build confidence in the service. An address off the routes gets a sign-up form and a call from a promoter. Live since December 2020, the programme also joined the environment ministry's national En Casa Yo Reciclo app in January 2021.
what does this mean?
The strongest source is the operator's or the city's own reporting — an official report, dataset or press release. It grades who did the looking — not how well the project went. All four grades →📊 Impact
Across 2021 the programme recovered 1,043 tonnes of inorganic waste, 350 tonnes of organic waste and 52 tonnes of electrical and electronic waste — about 1,445 tonnes in all — through a network of more than 378 reinserted recyclers belonging to 13 formalised associations in the Cercado. The electronic-waste stream runs with Reverse Logistics Group, which publishes the day and time of collection campaigns and what may be handed in. These are the municipality's own figures for 2021, the most recent it has published.
🎓 Lesson
The data layer here is a person, not a bin. What the portal shows is not a fill level or a route optimisation but the individual who will come to the door — their name, their age, their years in the trade and the number of people who depend on them — and the city says outright that the point is to generate confidence in the service. That is the opposite bet from a sensor: it treats recognition, not measurement, as the thing standing between a household and separating its waste. Its limit is the same one it started with, a single district; the reach the programme did gain came from joining a national ministry app rather than from covering more of Lima.

Known limits of this passport
- Publisher names and source languages have not yet been classified; domains are recorded without guessing.
- Existing source notes are descriptive locators, not page- or paragraph-exact citations.
- A missing archive, publication date or content hash is shown as null rather than inferred.
- The project-level evidence grade ranks the strongest source in the entry; it is not a truth score for every claim.
