Área Reserva Cinturón Ecológico (Cinturón Ecological Reserve) is an area of the Avellaneda Partido, Buenos Aires Province, Argentina. It is located on the bank of the Río de la Plata.

The Area Reserva Cinturón Ecológico, the "Environmental Belt Rerserve Area," was planned during the last dictatorship as part of a circle of landfills around Buenos Aires, which after being sated are planted with greenery. The plan resulted from Buenos Aires' Mayor Osvaldo Cacciatore's initiative in 1978 of replacing the city's thousands of apartment building incinerators for curbside pickup service. The reserve's landfills absorb most of the 5,400 daily tons of refuse generated in Buenos Aires.

With a population of 3,408 (2001 census [INDEC]) it is the least populated area in Avellaneda Partido.
