Torres del Paine National Park Waste Management

Each visitor should carry their own waste generated during the visit.

Avoid contamination, minimize and compress the garbage and transport it to carry the collection sites enabled.

Keep garbage away from the animals, in addition, consider that the wind can easily disperse it.

Batteries contain very harmful substances to the environment. Try to take them back to the nearest town where you can find special deposits.
Bring back the organic or biodegradable waste (food scraps, fruit peelings, eggs etc. . .), they do not belong to the environment you are visiting, it decomposes slowly and it as a source of infection, attract animals and visually pollute the environment. DO NOT throw to the ground fruit pits or seeds, as it could introduce a new species to alter the balance of the ecosystem.
