A community recycling drive is planned for 9 a.m.-1 p.m. May 10 at Blessings from Heaven Preschool, where canned food also will be accepted for Hawaii Foodbank, along with 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 the school.<\/p>\n
The Going Green drive, coordinated by Rene Mansho, welcomes all kinds of 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,” Mansho said, “and nothing goes to the landfill.”<\/p>\n
Goodwill and Lions clubs can make use of 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 more information, call Kelle Shodahl at 682-0010; for free towing of unwanted cars and further details on the community drive, call Mansho at 291-6151. (An Aloha ‘Aina recycling drive at Campbell High School also is open Saturday from 9 a.m. to noon at 91-980 North Road. Acceptable items differ slightly.
