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

I have a son who loves to tinker with cars which only translates to "I have car parts all over the…read moregarage." I have no use for an extra hood nor do I have use for mechanical bits and pieces that are left over from repairs and updates. So these items have been sitting in my garage for quite a bit now and I found out the hard way that you cannot just take these metal bits and pieces to a refuse / dump place. They won't accept it. After failing to "craigslist" these junk parts and researching where to dump these parts we found Island Recycling. They will take those odd car parts and pieces and will PAY you to offload these items (by the pound). We probably would've gladly paid them to take these items off our hands if truth be told but yes, if you have a significant amount of metal waste that you want to get rid of - this is the place to go. Since we only had a few items to dispose of the weight was not significant enough to qualify as a sum of money....more like cents. This place is located in Campbell Industrial Park deep in Kapolei. Once you get there and check in at the desk area they will tell you where to drive your car into where your items will be weighed and you will be allowed to dump those items in a particular pile. The metal lot is quite impressive with its mix of cars, appliances (big and small), drums, car parts, rebars and just about anything metal. You'd be surprised to see what kind of junk is at this lot! Heaps and heaps of junk all destined to be recycled. Dumping here was easy, ethical and painless plus they'll pay you for your junk.

The crew brought out additional bins to the curb. Although there was no help in the offloading process it was a quick trip.

The Ewa Convenience Center, operated by the City and County, serves as a designated drop-off…read morelocation for various non-hazardous items. Due to its systematic intake process, visitors often experience a queue, as items must be individually disposed of before the next vehicle can proceed. The center maintains a specific list of prohibited items that cannot be accepted for disposal. For household hazardous waste, residents are advised to contact the City and County directly at 808-768-3201 or via email at householdhazardouswa@honolulu.gov. Detailed instructions and additional information can also be found by searching for "Oahu hazardous waste" online. For disposal of hazardous materials requiring special handling, EnviroServices & Training Center, LLC is the city's approved contractor. They can be reached at (808) 839-7222. There is a fee for this service, charged per pound of waste. The city's free program limits drop-offs to 12 items per visit, and pre-registration of these items with the city for EnviroServices is required before disposal.

I have a rare model of sport compact and needed a part that the manufacturer (Honda Motors) in their infinite stupidity, has not manufactured for 9 years = Honda stopped producing/offering this unique body exterior component when their sport compact vehicle model was only 10 years old = #SMH. 10 months ago I called every automobile used parts yard on O'ahu and none of them had a vehicle of my year and model Honda. Only one used parts yard offered to "let me know if my year and model vehicle came in with the part undamaged" = it was Jason at O'ahu Used Auto Parts! Jason took my name and tel. number, I waited and called on the 1st work day of every month to remind him that I still needed the "impossible to find" part undamaged - and the incredible thing is that; because my model vehicle is "so rare" that he remembered who I was when I called him! A miracle happened about 2 weeks ago when someone sold their car; like mine but a different color, to Jason there at the yard with the "factory part" in perfect condition! Yesterday Jason helped me out in having the part removed and offered me a great deal if I would give him the severely rusted exterior part off of my car. NOTE: The phone number is Jason's mobile phone, he get's called A LOT (yesterday every 5 minutes his phone rang!) so if it goes to VM, leave a message as he always calls back!

Canning our cans…read more.. At first I didn't really took to the recycling system as the idea to wash and sort felt like it wasn't something that would be an ideal way to help with recycling but it's not the volume but every effort does make a difference. Though I don't do much drinking as it seems but it all adds up as one bottle water from lunch or a bottle water and even some drinks from work gets accumulated slowly gaining volume is where I feel the great feeling of turning them in and not for the HI5 but just knowing that it does help. I do love this Ewa location that's right between Ewa Shopping Center and Ewa Beach Elementary School is a huge container and a few dedicated parking stalls to easily turn in your items is so quick and easy. The staff here are efficient and helpful with it all it just took less than a minute and keeping the eco flow feels great. Thank you!

June 20, 2012 How much better can it get when you are…read morecredited $25.00 for something you aren't using, and someone is coming to pick the item up at a specific day and time, not "sometime during the month",or even "at the end of the month". (Bulky item pickup) This is actually a dual review of Refrigerant Recycling, Inc., and Hawaiian Electric Co. For those of you who have an older, energy guzzling working refrigerator, freezer, or window air conditioner, you have till June 22, 2012 or while funding lasts to call and turn it in for $25.00 credit from Hawaiian Electric during their "BOUNTY PROGRAM". Call them at 808-537-5577 to apply for the credit. They will have Refrigerant Recycling, Inc. pickup your item. The company will call you to schedule the pickup. They will give you an application form to fill in to send into Hawaii Energy for your credit. You will need the brand, model #, and the serial #. The refrigerator and freezer should be cleaned of any food. Refrigerant Recycling, Inc. called two (2) days later, and I was told to leave the item out between 8 AM.- 9 AM. They arrived a little after 9 AM. I could see why they were a little late, they already had about 6 refrigerators or freezers already loaded. The pickup crew consisted of Jessica and Edward. They were very pleasant and helpful. I couldn't find the information I needed to fill the application. Of course, they have been doing this for some time, and knew exactly where to look. It seems that my refrigerator was soooo old that the label with the information was eaten away. Jessica said that I should call Hawaiian Electric and explain the situation to them before I mailed in the application. I wondered why the company would pickup old appliances FOR FREE and asked Jessica. She said that they "recycle the gas inside". I tried calling the company at 808-682-1555 to find out for others, what they would charge, or if there was a charge for picking up other gas containing appliances, but was a little too late as their hours are 7 AM. - to 3:30 PM. I'm sorry I wasn't able to get more information for you all, that have old appliances. They have a domestic item pickup which include: Refrigerator, freezer, air conditioner, heat pump, water fountain, dehumidifier, other refrigerated items, washing machine, dryer, dishwasher, stove, laundry center and hot water heater. The Commercial item pickup include: Refrigerator, freezer,air conditioner (pkg), condensing unit, air handler, ice machine, soda machine, refer deck, other refrigerated items , refrigerant compressors, propane tank, and disposable cylinder. The bottom of their invoice states: Refrigerant Sales-Reclamation-Recovery- and Disposal.
