Now that Mayor Mufi has resurrected the city's recycling plan, it looks like residents of Hawaii Kai and Mililani will have to slim down their trash output because on some weeks, they'll have only one regular-garbage pickup a week. Ho boy. So much for tossing everything into the trash. Now you gotta put the yard waste in the green bin and the recyclables in the blue bin. OK... but what exactly counts as "recyclables"? The city says:
How come only corrugated cardboard? There are plenty of other kinds of cardboard boxes that jam up my rubbish can, why not take them too? And how come no phone book recycling? I didn't want those humbug Paradise Pages in the first place, the company should take them back. Well, I guess once they get to H-POWER they'll at least get burned and generate some electricity.
Mixed recyclables include newspaper, corrugated cardboard, glass bottles and jars, aluminum cans and plastic bottles and jugs (#1 and #2 plastic codes).
Rinse containers. Remove lids. Labels are okay.
No other paper, magazines, telephone books, glossy paper, cereal or tissue boxes. No other glass, such as drinking glasses, ceramics, window glass. No other plastic, such as polystyrene foam, plastic tubs, plastic bags, plastic toys.
