Recycling | Hawaii Newcomer's Guide 2007-08



	Recycling Do something good for the environment AND Yourself. Recycle! Most people know how beneficial recycling is to the environment, and most Hawaii residents already know how beneficial it is to their own pocketbook. "Hawaii has a long history of recycling," says Terry G. Telfer, president of Reynolds Recycling, "For 26 years we have helped Hawaii residents recycle billions of containers away from the waste stream. Since the start of the Deposit Beverage Container Law (HI-5), more people than ever are recycling. With over 31 redemption centers statewide we have over 80 thousand transactions monthly." To make your redemption easier, Reynolds Recycling offers these tips: Separating all of your material at home will make your trip to your neighborhood redemption center faster and easier. If you utilize the smaller plastic category (for containers under 17 ounces), you must segregate these from other plastic containers, but this will help you get the maximum deposit back. Most redemption centers ask that you separate glass by color, and make sure that all caps and lids for glass and plastic containers are removed. Redemption centers do not generally have the capability to take back cases or cardboard boxes, so be prepared to take them home if you use them. Remember that to save space you can also flatten aluminum and plastic containers if you are not planning to use a reverse vending machine to redeem them. Whichever method you decide, recycling is a great thing for the environment and with a little planning and preparation can be a hassle free way to help the earth and your wallet.
