What do they do with it?

[Carey]

Right there? They palletize some of the materials... they have staging areas all about... and I am pretty sure they 'reformulate' the paints & that is what they have at the Keaau transfer....

As for the other stuff, I can only guess it is sent off island for further processing... Anyone else ????
