If you want to get rid of your stuff and do not want to pay someone, City & County of Honolulu has…read morea lot of facilities to collect waste. I come to this one because they accept appliances, a little far drive fro me because I live in town, but the entire experiences is nice and smooth. I got there a little bit earlier than the opening time. The guy at the entrance just told me to wait a few minutes before let me enter. It is a nice facility. It seems pretty organize, the first area you will see is a general waste area, if you keep driving down the road, you will get to the appliances waste and also green waste. It took me only a few minutes to get it done.

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've never been to this Redemption Center before, so Irene helped me find it. GPS took me to the side where there's no driveway. We had to go around the block to get to the entrance on Beretania Street. The driveway doesn't really have a sign. The lot is surrounded by a tall chain link fence. The worker was so kind and conversational. He apologized for not being able to pay me for the used glass from religious candles. He suggested that I take them to some industrial area. Well... if he wants to give away the decorative glass containers, he can. Maybe someone wants to use them as vases or pencil holders? Thanks for being so nice!

I don't want to give a recycling center one star since I'm such a believer in recycling and reusing things, but this was a really scary experience! A homeless man was following me around and then an Asian lady who had no front teeth tried to assault me. There seem to be a lack of green buckets, which is where you have to separate your recycling materials. The people there were hoarding all the green buckets. Literally, the lady who tried to assault me had five or six buckets and then cursed at me as I walked by. I didn't feel safe here. Sad because I've been here several times over the past years. I won't come back.

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.

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.

Oh well I'll be going back to my other place for recycling because they don't care if the caps are on lol .

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!

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!
