Support the Future of Recycling
 in Costa Rica

AmbiciOsas is a women-led nonprofit recovering recyclable materials, protecting the biodiversity of Bahía Ballena, and creating green jobs in Costa Rica’s Southern Pacific region.

From Bahía Ballena to Ciudad Neily, AmbiciOsas works every day recovering recyclable materials, cleaning beaches, and creating green jobs for women and youth in Costa Rica’s Southern Pacific region. Your donation helps us keep our trucks moving, pay fair wages, and build the future Recycling Innovation Center for our communities.

Our dream

We dream of a Southern Pacific region where we recover 90% of recyclable materials, ensuring they never end up in rivers, beaches, or landfills.

Our goal is to build the first Recycling Innovation Center in southern Costa Rica — a space where recycling creates jobs, environmental education, and new opportunities for local communities.

Why Your Donation Matters


  • Helps cover fuel, transportation, bags, tools, and logistics for beach clean ups and recycle collections.

  • Your support helps us invest in recycling machinery, collection trucks, safer transportation, and improved facilities to recover more materials and expand our services
