In the meantime- it took over a year to get the main generating plant on Tortola back up after Hurricane Irma- and glass bottles and aluminum cans are still chucked in the garbage because there is no recycling provision on Tortola.
Not sure where your information is coming from but both of these are not true. The plant was online early; I'd guess within a few weeks and much of Road Town got power quickly because the lines are buried. Even in Cane, we had power at the end of January and it only took that long because all the lines and poles had to be replaced.
On Tortola, there are currently 12 recycling drop off locations for glass, plastic, and aluminum. Not to imply everyone uses them but it's available.
