Hilo Landfill is by the airport, Kona is above the highway. Almost all recyclables are shipped off island (not enough industry on island to process...)
Interesting note, per capita Hawaii State 'produces' more waste than any other, and our county is the highest in the state (of course part of the equation is tied to the lack of processing our recycables....but still we are the champs!) This is in some measure due to the amount of importation we require to live here...
