I had my first visit to Aloha Recycling the other week, and it was such a smooth, positive…read moreexperience. They're conveniently located right across from Island Grocery Depot, and there was plenty of parking. As soon as we parked, staff came over to greet us and immediately took care of us. We were planning to sort everything once we got there, but they jumped in and started helping unload and sort the recyclables for us--something I definitely wasn't expecting. They were incredibly kind and efficient. That said, you should sort ahead of time. We happened to come on a slower day, didn't have too many bags, and were the only ones there, which probably made it easier for them to assist. Overall, it was quick, easy, and honestly was a great experience. The staff were fast, friendly, and made the whole process feel effortless.Highly recommend stopping by Aloha Recycling.

The building is gone but they have a couple of big tents. Poor things because I'm pretty sure the wooden building had air conditioning. Hope they give them a building again. Lisa and her gang are all still there and there's a young wahine working there too. Always nice workers and I always feel good about recycling and getting some cash back. Check them out.

The guy working there helped unload our trunk which we apreciated-we always seem to have old unworking electronic stuff and this is the place to take it so doesn't end up in the trash.

I thought this was the place to recycle electronics, but not all electronics. They're a little…read moreparticular about the electronics that they accept. I've been accumulating worn out computers, printers, stereo equipment and stuff for years. If the item was functional, I would list it on Craigslist for free, just to keep it out of the landfill and to give someone else the chance to get some use out of it. But, if it's a hunk of junk, there's no point in listing it and getting someone's hopes up for a nice freebie. This stuff was junk. We found this place with a quick Google search. Open Tuesday 1-5pm and Saturday 8am-1pm, I thought they would be less busy on a Tuesday afternoon. There were people dropping off when we arrived and more showing up as we left. I violated rule #1 right away. You're supposed to stay in your car. My pile of junk was in the trunk, so I got out to open the trunk since my car has a key lock for the trunk lid. Thankfully, the fellow who came out let this violation slide. He actually was very friendly and we got along well. But, there was another problem. Some of my electronics weren't acceptable. He told me that he couldn't take my old garage stereo, complete with an 8-track tape player. I asked him why and he just shrugged his shoulders. But, if I moved that receiver, he would take the junk that was under it. He also took my old printer, but left the broken CD changer. So, I guess I have a couple of hunk of junk headed for the landfill.

Young ones won't know what the hell that means, so Google it! They even have a repair garage that always looks busy. No convenience store though. While I don't come here for gas, I was forced here for the HI-5 recycling redemption service, ran by Aloha Recycling. I usually patronize the location next to UHMC but their redemption center has been closed for several weeks already due to staffing, but you can still drop off recyclables there. Tucked in between the gas station and car wash is the small, dirty and bustling operation. Grab one of the netted carts, dump your separated goods in them and wheel it to the attendant. They'll print out a receipt which you take to the gas station's window cashier who'll disperse your money. OVERALL: Do your part and recycle!

I gave him my count and he proceeded to count them-never had that happen before said they do that now to be sure weve counted right, no problem for me. But I had counted wrong (under counted on my cans & over counted by a couple on bottles) I felt bad and he said no problem. So got more $ back than I had expected. I was very impressed with him. Place was clean and staff very friendly. We had some glass bottles and plastic and the bins for them were easy to find.

We turned up with a huge trailer load of garden waste and the guys at the dump told us to park in bay 6 and give them a few minutes to compact the green waste using a mechanical dozer. Once that was done they told us to stand back and carefully picked up the green waste from the back of our trailer and placed it in the dumpster! It was artfully and perfectly done and shows the precision involved in mastering a dozer. It saved us a lot of time and effort, so we made sure we did a good clean up job with our rake, brushes and blower we brought along. I tried to tip the driver but he refused so next time we go to the dump we are taking homemade banana cake to thank them for being so great ;) PS. If you are into dumpster diving you can find some great stuff at the dump! It would be great if there was a small store room with items of furniture, etc that could be saved and recycled. I would volunteer to man it one day a week if someone set it up!!
