Local Politics, oh my!
#32
I don't know where the recycled materials go. Once, I did talk to a Recycle Hawaii representative who was at the Kea'au transfer station who seemed quite knowledgeable about the operations. I asked him why they didn't recycle more items, like the City of Palo Alto did. He said that it's a matter of being able to find recycling operators who will take the stuff.

He mentioned that the recycling facilities at Kea'au and Pahoa have contracts with different operators and there's a small difference in what each will accept. I thought that all of the recycling at the various transfer stations were handled by the same organization.

While the 2 liter PETE beverage containers and glass liquor bottles are not covered by the HI5 bill, they can still be recycled. Granted that's only useful if a person is inclined to recycle anyway. It certainly doesn't encourage those who don't already participate in recycling. The reason that I heard that Lingle gave for not including the larger plastic bottles in the HI5 bill was about not hurting the poor by increasing the checkout cost. Sounded like a crock to me.
