Re: Hawaii's Beverage Container Tax
A curbside recycling plan was in the works, but was sidelined by labor disputes (of course). I still have the blue bin in our garage. As far as the ease of recycling, I agree, and think that if and when the retailer-end of the current law comes into effect (meaning many stores far from "official" centers will have "reverse vending machines" out front), things might get better.
We have three 30-gallon garbage bags filled with rinsed, dried, capless beverage containers, and we live less than a mile from the Mililani redemption center. I don't blame that on the law, though, I blame that on my lazy butt!
