The program is up and operational. David Collins might have the information you seek. Also, a maestro at the local school is having kids in his class collect plastic, apparently in part for some revenue for the school. However, I imagine his focus is probably environmental education.

You can Google ECOCE Zapopan for more Spanish language information. I don't know if the local recycling program is cognizant of this possible buyer.
