Recycling cereal box type paper? - toucano - 03-22-2007
I know typical cardboard can be recycled here, but can the kind of paper used for cereal boxes, frozen pizza boxes, etc., be recycled?

I've been wondering the same thing!!

We have asked a few times at the Keaau Transfer, & they do not take it, so we end up shredding it up for our brown organics in our compost (we try to use equal browns & greens) Takes about the same time as our Christmas palms to decomp.

What a shame. Well that answers that one I guess.

I found this information on iakamai.com.
According to them you CAN recycle cereal boxes at some of the recycle centers. Not Kea'au where I usually go, but Pahoa has a bin for mixed recycle.

Recycling Drop-offs - Update
The following items will now be accepted in the Mixed Recycling drop-off bins at the following County Transfer Stations: Hawi, Honokaa, Keauhou, Laupahoehoe, Pahoa, Pahala, Puako and Waimea.
Okay to Recycle:
*Paperboard or boxboard (cereal, tea, snack food boxes, etc.)
* Plastics #1 (milk jugs, detergent and bleach bottles, etc.)
* Metal cans (Rinsed tuna and cat food cans, soup cans, etc.)
* Newspapers and magazines
* Cardboard and brown paper bags (flattened)
* Mixed office paper and junk mail (No Brites)
* Phonebooks and paperbacks – torn into 3-4 sections
Please note: Materials taken to the Kealakehe, Hilo or the Kea‘au Transfer Stations are still commodity-separated. Please look for signage on where to place recycled materials at these sites.
