Curaçao Seems Dirtier Than Ever
April 13, 2026
In recent years, numerous initiatives have been undertaken to clean and keep the island clean, including the temporary free opening of the landfill. Clean Up Curaçao and Kunukuman have worked day and night, but to no avail. Refrigerators, mattresses, and plastic bags scattered in the bushes now define our streetscape. This is on an island that is breaking all records in tourism and is set to participate, as the smallest nation, in the World Cup. It seems that no one knows anymore how we will ever solve this problem.
It is impossible to explain or understand why people dump their waste in nature. Nor is it clear why plastic has not been banned, or why fines are not being issued.
