Recycling in Honolulu, Hawaii…read more.. I've never been to this Redemption Center before, so Irene helped me find it. GPS took me to the side where there's no driveway. We had to go around the block to get to the entrance on Beretania Street. The driveway doesn't really have a sign. The lot is surrounded by a tall chain link fence. The worker was so kind and conversational. He apologized for not being able to pay me for the used glass from religious candles. He suggested that I take them to some industrial area. Well... if he wants to give away the decorative glass containers, he can. Maybe someone wants to use them as vases or pencil holders? Thanks for being so nice!

This is my regular recycling center. We've been drinking a lot less soda and bottled water so it's…read morebeen a while since I've been here. I don't want to give a recycling center one star since I'm such a believer in recycling and reusing things, but this was a really scary experience! A homeless man was following me around and then an Asian lady who had no front teeth tried to assault me. There seem to be a lack of green buckets, which is where you have to separate your recycling materials. The people there were hoarding all the green buckets. Literally, the lady who tried to assault me had five or six buckets and then cursed at me as I walked by. I didn't feel safe here. Sad because I've been here several times over the past years. I won't come back.

Shhhh.. I was giving away my recycle bags forever, but.... No more!…read more I always wondered how much people get for my bags of cans and bottles. Well I finally decided to recycle my own cans and bottles myself. Being a newbie at this I chose a place that has lots of easy parking and looked clean, unlike a lot of recycle businesses. RRR Recycle in Kapahulu which shares the same parking lot as Side Street Inn is that place I was looking for. They checked all the boxes and was so easy for anyone can recycle. All you have to do is separate the cans, plastics and bottles in the plastic trash bins provided(Green or Grey it doesn't matter). Stand in line with your bins, they take it, weigh or count it your choice and give you your money! $$$. Well it's money I never had, but it was so easy to do that I'll continue to do it. It was fast and you'll feel a whole lot better that you did it.

They were crowded lots of people were waiting I believe they were just finishing their lunch too . This place is very strict they wanted all the caps off from the plastic bottles. I remember way back when it was announced on the news that you can leave the caps on for your plastic bottles for recycling. Oh well I'll be going back to my other place for recycling because they don't care if the caps are on lol .

It's not just about the $.05…read more.. I've been in this area in the past as it shares space with T&N Computer Recycling Service which takes various electronics for free as it was the perfect place to dispose of my super old old old TV worry free making it a convenient time saver stop if you have multiple items to recycle at this Beretania St location. You can't miss the huge lot they occupy which probably makes a huge draw to many though for me personally was a it annoying. As we all follow the rules that various location prefer us to do to process it all the wait for just a small load took awhile especially with those that have huge loads as I don't like to wait and hoard this isn't the spot for me, the only positive is lots of parking and the convenience to recycle your items in a single spot to get your return on the deposits. Thank you!

Usually the line isn't bad if you go later in the day. I like that the electronic recycling is in…read morethe same location.

I used to drop off my recyclables for years at my old office building because I gave them to the…read moreparking attendant. I started dropping them off at night when I was planning to be in the area. Recently, I found out that the attendant no longer worked there. So after dropping off bottles and cans for months, I decided to recycle them myself. I didn't know there were separation rules. Glass, aluminum, mixed metal, and plastic need to be separated and placed in different gray trash bins. The bins are weighed separately and the amount is calculated and paid to you in cash. They have a processing facility on-site which crushes and bales the plastic bottles. The place is super busy and people are coming and going constantly. You need to be aware of all the activity to avoid accidents. Check it out !!

As i had items to drop off at Goodwill that's just two steps away from this location at the Park and Ride in Hawaii Kai, i did have not a lot but a few recyclable items in my car and decided to just redeem them.

Recycling in Honolulu, Hawaii…read more.. Is it worth the drive to Sand Island Access Road? I think so... My friend, Irene M., told me about: C M Recycling. She said she got top dollar for her recyclables. I went to test it out... The drop off driveway was blocked off with 2 vehicles. It's not a looped traffic pattern. So, I went to the next driveway and was told it's the area for scrap metal. That's ok... I can walk over with my bags of plastic bottles... I gave my bags to one guy who emptied my bottles into a large, square, plastic netted container on a scale. He signaled the weight to the cashier who had me complete a form and gave me the cash. I was guessing that I would get around $5. However, I got over $7 Yay! I'll be back! Thanks for the tip, Irene!

Knowing made it easy…read more.. After a few rounds of taking in recyclables understanding the process does take time but is totally worth it in the long run as C M Recycling is now gonna be my go to place to have it all processed as it was the easiest as along we follow all the rules. Rules are standard regardless of where you take them have it all sorted out and cleaned no caps and gosh it does make it so easy especially at locations like this where there isn't room for parking as there's just two stalls as this biz sits right on Sand Island Access Rd. so if there already a couple of cars there just wait on the side which many do until they're done and allow them to reverse out so that you can drive forward in. Once there the staff takes your items and load them into a huge basket and is being weighed and just fill out and sign the form and that's it super simple and easy and honestly I think it get much more in return here than an any other places that I've been to and I don't need to touch any yucky stinky trash bins. Hours are 8-4:30 and closed on Sundays but so fast and easy and totally recommended. Thank you!

Friendly and helpful workers to assist you. Wait time was minimal to get your money. Will go again.read more

But the workers there were very nice and explained some important things to to before coming there. Sort your items by: 1) plastic bottles less than 17 oz 2) larger bottles but all bottles must have the HI recycle logo by the upc code 3) aluminum cans 4) bottles * remove the caps off all bottles You get paid more per pound for the smaller plastic bottles. If you only have a couple bags it won't make too much of a difference.
