LIHU‘E — County officials announced Monday that the HI-5 Bins to Businesses Program will be launched on Monday.
The goal of the new recycling program is to maximize waste diversion by providing businesses with a convenient method to separate and divert aluminum, glass, and plastic HI-5 beverage containers, a county news release says.
There are two types of recycling bins available at no charge through this program:
— Three-bin stacking system with labeled bins for aluminum, glass, and plastic.
— Twenty-three gallon “Slim Jim” bins for all HI-5 beverage containers.
These bins have been purchased through a beverage container grant from the state Department of Health and may only be used for HI-5 containers.
To participate in the new recycling program, businesses will be required to complete an online survey at www.kauai.gov/binstobusinesssurvey. Upon completion of the survey, businesses can then contact the County Recycling Office and arrange to pick up their bin(s) at the Kaua‘i Resource Center located near the Lihu‘e Airport at 3460 Ahukini Rd.
The bins are available on a first come, first served basis and are limited to one, three-bin stacking system or one Slim Jim per business.
After the bins are distributed, the County will not be responsible for replacing lost or stolen bins.
Redemption of the HI-5 beverage containers collected in the Bins to Businesses Program is the responsibility of participating businesses and the money collected through this program can be used to benefit the business or its designee.
