Central Oahu residents have no excuses about spring cleaning, as they have a choice of three area recycling drives next month.<\/p>\n
The Going Green campaign is coming to Leilehua High School April 12 and to Mililani Hongwanji Mission April 19. Both drives will run from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. and will accept canned food for Hawaii Foodbank, as well as an unlimited number of residential and commercial computers and e-waste – and one TV set per car.<\/p>\n
Proceeds from redemption fees will benefit Leilehua High and the Mililani Ki-Aikido Club, respectively.<\/p>\n
Going Green collects scrap metal, bicycles, appliances, HI-5 containers, cooking oil, cell phones, printers and cartridges, batteries, fire extinguishers and propane tanks (maximum of three), pet food and supplies, prom dresses, business suits and white socks (for Afghanistan).<\/p>\n
“Everything is recycled,” coordinator Rene Mansho said, “and nothing goes to the landfill.”<\/p>\n
Goodwill and Lions clubs can use clothing, household items, hearing aids and eyeglasses. Participants also can swap incandescent light bulbs for CFLs.<\/p>\n
The drive cannot accept tires, paint, microwave ovens, wood or bulky items, motor oil, hazardous fluids, cardboard, paper or plastics.<\/p>\n
For curbside pickup and free towing of unwanted cars at either event, call Mansho at 291-6151.<\/p>\n
Kokua Hawaii Foundation also plans an Aloha Aina recycling drive from 9 a.m. to noon April 12 at Mililani Uka Elementary, 94-380<\/p>\n
Kuahelani Ave. In partnership with Schnitzer Steel, the drive accepts most items listed above, as well as cardboard, paper and plastics. Proceeds go to the school.<\/p>\n
