Honolulu Recycles
Whether you live here or are just visiting, you'll be happy to know Honolulu Recycles! So where are the recycling centers? Well, you do need to know where to look. Unfortunately, when you are out and about, you won't always find recycle bins as easily as we would like. The Honolulu Zoo has them, some natural food stores, hospitals and medical centers and the Honolulu airport. Also check with your hotel. Some hotels have recycle programs, though they aren't publicized. In addition, many local hotel housekeepers collect items to recycle on their own. How do you find out? Just ask. You can do even more than just recycle your items. If you want to help fund your Hawaiian vacation, take them to a Recycling Center and get paid. It takes a bit of effort and you won't make a fortune but at least you will make a little money for your efforts. Dress to get a little dirty.  Recycling Centers in Honolulu that will pay for some recyclables:Waikiki Downtown City and County Municipal Building Click here for more recycling centers throughout Oahu. If you would rather donate the money, there are many local schools and community organizations that collect recyclables and use the money they earn for educational programs. Magazines and Phone BooksMost places that recycle paper do not accept magazines or phone books but Hagadone Printing does. This local company is serious about its green efforts and even has a full time sustainability coordinator on staff. Paper is accepted for recycling Monday-Friday from 8am to 5pm And finally, if you can't find a place to recycle and you have to throw recyclables in the trash, you'll be happy to know there are many people who walk through Waikiki and retreive recyclables so all is not lost. There is still a good chance your recyclables will make it to the right place. Thank you so much for helping keep Honolulu clean!
