No such thing as municipal garbage pickup in DR?
It depends where you are. i have been lucky enough to always have it, and they tend to be regular and on time as long as you remember to tip. You have to pay around RD$2,000 pesos a year to the local authority.
Here is a blog post I wrote on them - we call them dustbin men in English English.

You speaking from experience?

Compost, burn and who knows where those beer, wine and rum bottles end up. 'tis a mystery.
Does anyone burn their garbage? What are the dos, don'ts, and others of doing so?
bottles are collected from trash bins, beaches and bushes. sold to botelleros who then sell to brugal/barcelo/presidente who all have bottle washing machines and recycle a certain percentage of bottles. those that cannot be recycled are crushed and shipped out of DR for production of new bottles. the bottles from different brands (corona, whiskey) are cleaned by botelleros themselves and sold by a box to the producers of mabi, honey and other goods.
