Shhhh.. I was giving away my recycle bags forever, but.... No more!…read more I always wondered how much people get for my bags of cans and bottles. Well I finally decided to recycle my own cans and bottles myself. Being a newbie at this I chose a place that has lots of easy parking and looked clean, unlike a lot of recycle businesses. RRR Recycle in Kapahulu which shares the same parking lot as Side Street Inn is that place I was looking for. They checked all the boxes and was so easy for anyone can recycle. All you have to do is separate the cans, plastics and bottles in the plastic trash bins provided(Green or Grey it doesn't matter). Stand in line with your bins, they take it, weigh or count it your choice and give you your money! $$$. Well it's money I never had, but it was so easy to do that I'll continue to do it. It was fast and you'll feel a whole lot better that you did it.

Today my go to place for recycling was close for lunch . So decided to try this place RRR recycling…read morelocated on Kapahuluu . They were crowded lots of people were waiting I believe they were just finishing their lunch too . This place is very strict they wanted all the caps off from the plastic bottles. I remember way back when it was announced on the news that you can leave the caps on for your plastic bottles for recycling. Oh well I'll be going back to my other place for recycling because they don't care if the caps are on lol .

It's not just about the $.05…read more.. I've been in this area in the past as it shares space with T&N Computer Recycling Service which takes various electronics for free as it was the perfect place to dispose of my super old old old TV worry free making it a convenient time saver stop if you have multiple items to recycle at this Beretania St location. You can't miss the huge lot they occupy which probably makes a huge draw to many though for me personally was a it annoying. As we all follow the rules that various location prefer us to do to process it all the wait for just a small load took awhile especially with those that have huge loads as I don't like to wait and hoard this isn't the spot for me, the only positive is lots of parking and the convenience to recycle your items in a single spot to get your return on the deposits. Thank you!

Normally when I recycle all my empty cans of seltzer water that I drink, I like to go to the…read moreMonster Hi-5 and Tires recycling plant to recycle my cans, but one particular day when I was trying to go to Monster Hi-5, the lot was extremely full as they had a shipping container in their lot to do a pickup of the recyclables. Stuck with a few garbage bags of cans in my car, I decided to head down on Beretania Street and stop into the - RRR Recycling plant. What can I say about RRR Recycling? 1. The recycling plant is busy & pretty crowded. The wait to process my cans took awhile. 2. The customer clientele is mixed...........you got the "regular folks" who once in a blue moon come into a recycling plant to turn in their recyclables. Then on the other hand, you have the "other type of folks" who recycle like their life depended on it! 3. While I patiently stood in line, a scummy lady actually tried to take a trash can full on my recyclable cans. Can you believe it??? Of course she looked the type of person in the category of - "other type of folks", if you know what I mean. Lol! After a long wait, when I finally got to the processing area, everything else went through smoothly. On the bright side of coming to this recycling plant, there is ample parking here, so access is much easier than the recycling plant I normally go to with Monster Hi-5. Although it's a hassle to recycle, I'm pretty sure it's a good thing to do for our environment.

Recycling in Honolulu, Hawaii…read more.. I happened to have a bag of aluminum cans in my car. I had counted them, so I knew how much I should be getting monetarily... It was a bit challenging to find a place that's open on a Sunday, but Monster Hi-5 and Tires is open daily from 8am to 5pm! Easy! Just enter and leave on Waialae Avenue... it's a one-way driveway, next to Asahi Grill. No one says anything. I just followed everyone else, poured my cans into a gray trash barrel, moved it forward as the line creeped closer to the weigher, entered my name and number on a form, and collected my money... Simple! And I DID NOT get ripped off! Thank you!

Don't go too close to closing…read more.. After a long day of adulting and getting things done one item on my list was to drop off recyclables and thought that this Waialae location would be convenient looking at the hours on Yelp knew that I had time as it shows it closes at 5pm but as I arrived slightly before that and was delighted to see that no one else is there making the drop off easy and stress free. The driveway isn't that big and could probably fit a couple of cars but it was an easy process and got it done very easy but as I was unloading noticed that they started to close the entrance and was surprised since it was just 4:45pm, the staff is nice and got me on my way fast. Just happy that I made it on time and didn't have to return another day. Thank you!

He said "have a nice day" as I left! Quick, easy, convenient location and so happy with the redemption.

They take flat screen TVs for free, but need to answer their phone and be there during posted hoursread more

Free disposal!! OMG…read morewhy haven't I discovered you much sooner is my biggest regret!!! T & N Computer Recycling Service is a blessing as they'll take your electronics including tv, cellphones, desktop computers, laptops, printers, monitors and even power cables...as my tv the only one I've ever owned yes it's over 20 years old and it's not a flatscreen lol! My giant box that has been entertaining me for decades has finally reached it's moment of burn out and nope I didn't get a new tv but another hand me down lol! You can't beat the value of FREE and it's convenience right on South Beretania beside Star Auto on the left side it shares the same lot with the recycling center so driving in to unload is so simple and easy. Proper disposal is important though you need to do is make sure to remove all data and drop it off...easy! Thank you!

Recycling in Honolulu, Hawaii…read more.. Is it worth the drive to Sand Island Access Road? I think so... My friend, Irene M., told me about: C M Recycling. She said she got top dollar for her recyclables. I went to test it out... The drop off driveway was blocked off with 2 vehicles. It's not a looped traffic pattern. So, I went to the next driveway and was told it's the area for scrap metal. That's ok... I can walk over with my bags of plastic bottles... I gave my bags to one guy who emptied my bottles into a large, square, plastic netted container on a scale. He signaled the weight to the cashier who had me complete a form and gave me the cash. I was guessing that I would get around $5. However, I got over $7 Yay! I'll be back! Thanks for the tip, Irene!

Knowing made it easy…read more.. After a few rounds of taking in recyclables understanding the process does take time but is totally worth it in the long run as C M Recycling is now gonna be my go to place to have it all processed as it was the easiest as along we follow all the rules. Rules are standard regardless of where you take them have it all sorted out and cleaned no caps and gosh it does make it so easy especially at locations like this where there isn't room for parking as there's just two stalls as this biz sits right on Sand Island Access Rd. so if there already a couple of cars there just wait on the side which many do until they're done and allow them to reverse out so that you can drive forward in. Once there the staff takes your items and load them into a huge basket and is being weighed and just fill out and sign the form and that's it super simple and easy and honestly I think it get much more in return here than an any other places that I've been to and I don't need to touch any yucky stinky trash bins. Hours are 8-4:30 and closed on Sundays but so fast and easy and totally recommended. Thank you!
