Donation for a good cause…read more.. I drove past this Green Drop trailer on Kamehameha Highway as I headed towards the Ewa side of the island and thought: "Hey! This is something new!" Located along the line of Food Trucks in the parking lot where Sears used to be (look for the red and white Leonard's Malasadamobile), Green Drop is a familiar name because there's a trailer in Kaneohe at Windward Mall! Same idea! Bo was very helpful when I walked up to turn in my package of stuff. I was already in the system, so he entered my phone number onto the tablet, and I received a confirmation email with a printable receipt. That's so efficient! Bo stated that the two Savers on Oahu work in conjunction with Green Drop, which is a national company. The funds raised from donated goods go to various charities such as The Red Cross. Ahhh... interesting! I am motivated more to purge and visit the other Green Drop locations in Kapolei and Kailua! Note: this location opened on 8-1-24.

Going Green... Thank…read moreyou Nadine C for this newest location information as it was the perfect stop to drop off some clothes and not sure if many know about this location as I approached the trailer to see very little item in there but know that this location benefits the American Red Cross. This Pearlridge Center location is very easy to find as it shares space with other food trucks in the former Sears location making a drop off easy with lots of free parking. They seem to accept anything from clothes to household goods and the staff there is ready to help you if you have a lot or any heavy items, love to see these Green Drop trailers more and more around the island as making the drop is easier than purging items that I know I no longer need. Thank you!

Quick, easy donation in Pearl City, O'ahu, Hawaii…read more.. Irene M. had a great idea... Since we were out on the Leeward side of the island, why don't we be productive and drop off our donations! She had seen a little stand-alone building behind HMart and Don Q... ahhh... it was in the parking lot against the stone wall! There was a nice lady who was attentive and gave us a receipt right away! Thank you!

21 November 2020…read more Donation season! On my walk this morning, I stopped by the drop box to check if there were hours posted; no hours are posted. However, it seems a new addition was made...an after hours drop box! I like that they added an after hours drop box (I think its new because I've gone in the past and there was not one before). Irregardless, it is only for small items and people still leave their larger items at the side of the container. When I went back to drop my items off, it seems the drop box was almost full because once I closed the hatch and open it to put in another bag, the first one was still there. I had to physically push it in with a little force. This indicates that either they haven't emptied it in a few days or there were a lot of donations in a short period! ‍ I wish they had hours posted. I think that would be more helpful and would deter people from leaving their items outside in the elements. While their intent to donate is good, leaving items on the outside just creates the potential for weather damage and the items becoming unusable! I do like donating to BB/BS though as they state that the profits from clothing donations or household goods donations go  toward funding the specialized mentoring programs for young people. The added after hours drop box is a convenient addition!!

Recycling is a good thing!…read more Want to be paid to clean your house? Just collect all of your aluminum cans, glass bottles, and plastic bottles, then bring them here! Sort out your glass bottles by color...clear, green, brown, etc. It's easier to weigh your bottles and cans, but for those who want a hand count, that's available, too. Service is efficient. Just drive up and park nearby. Pour your sorted cans (and bottles) into a plastic bin. A worker will pour your bin into another container and weigh your items. Sign the receipt and collect your cash... it's easy! Happy Earth Day (April 22 of every year)! P.S. RRR = Reduce Reuse Recyclers Located across from Windward Mall on Alaloa Street in Kaneohe

As well as it does add up just taking a moment to set some recyclables aside really didn't disturb my routine as I thought it would acting with a bit of resistance now is a feeling of good.

Thank you!

I live in Waikele, but whenever I needed to recycle my HI-5, I always went to Waipahu or other…read moreplaces. One day I decided to try this place, and it took me less than 10 minutes to drive there. It's a small recycling center next to Inspire Church. I arrived there at 4:00 PM. They had bins stacked up, and you can grab a bin and sort by plastic, soda cans, and beer bottles. You can also sort your 16.9 oz bottles separately because they will pay you more for those. I was surprised that there was only one person working, but he was nice and friendly -- and he moved really fast. I was amazed at how quickly he worked. He actually goes through the bins and takes out anything that is not HI-5. I thought protein drink cans had HI-5 on them, but I was wrong. It was impressive how he could process everything all day while sorting at the same time. At first, I had to ask him why he was taking out certain cans, and he explained that those didn't have HI-5 on them. I saw some reviews about workers at recycling places being dishonest. I won't mention any names, but there are a few places where workers have been dishonest. However, this place has plenty of surveillance cameras, and they weigh your cans and plastic right in front of you. I think it's nearly impossible for them to cheat here. At other places, they weigh your cans and bottles where you can't see the scale. But here, the weight scale is right in front of you, and there are even cameras pointing at the scale. As a Yelp reviewer, I want to give my honest opinion. When I see negative comments like that, I like to dig in and compare them to my own observations. Like I said, at other places you can't see the weight scale or any cameras. I have been recycling for a while, and I got the most money here. When I took my recycling to a competitor, I didn't get nearly as much as I did at RRR Recycling. I didn't realize I had essentially been sharing my payout with the workers at the other place. On top of that, I even gave them a few extra dollars to buy themselves a drink. lol I won't say exactly how much I got, but I will say I got $25.00 more than at other places. I also think that if you don't receive a summary of your recycling and feel your return was too low, you can probably call their management and open an investigation. But I was super happy with my extra $25, and my receipt broke down exactly what I had and how much I received for each item -- like an itemized receipt. On top of everything, the worker was solo and incredibly fast, and he was very friendly. I asked him if he was a regular employee there, and he said he is only a part-timer. He was too shy to be in a picture, but I managed to get a photo of him from behind. I hope management recognizes and appreciates his hard work. Sometimes it's hard to find someone who is both honest and hardworking, and when you find that person, doing everything you can to keep them is better for your business and better for your customers. As you looking at the picture you can see all the cameras in the building and it will be impossible for them to cheat. That's my observation!!!

I usually go to a recycling center in Kapolei but it is closed on Monday's so I decided to try some…read moreplace new that is in close vicinity to my home. I saw this place had a fairly good review so I gave it a go. Sadly it fell way below expectations. I drove up and there was no other customers there. I noticed a female employee looking at her phone. I started unloading my 6 bags of recyclables and put the into the designated bins. Female employee still hadn't acknowledged me. Since this was my first time there I wasn't familiar with where to put my filled bins when I was done. I hesitatingly pulled them up the ramp and put them on the left side of the chains. With nothing said to me again she got up from watching her phone and pulled them under the chain to the middle. A male employee came out to assist her and they just spoke between themselves about another customer that has just pulled up. She handed me the money and receipt. And the first and only words uttered to me the whole time "$33.75." This experience has left me feeling like an inconvenience, I'm not sure how the have above a 1 star rating.
