Hi, Lee.
We moved to Volcano in May.
I've been trying to figure out the recycling situation also.
It seems like you can recycle the same stuff as you can on the mainland, it just takes a bit more effort. You need to sort the items yourself and must take them to a designated transfer station. We bought a bunch of plastic garbage cans so we can sort as we use.
This site has been helpful: http://www.recyclehawaii.org/
I have also subscribed to the Hawaii Freecycle Yahoo group.

The thinking: "One man's trash is another man's treasure" is alive and flourishing in this group.
