Hawaii Recycler Now Pays for Non-Deposit Glass Bottles
Starting January 2011, Reynolds Recycling, Hawaii’s largest beverage container recycler, will begin purchasing non-deposit glass bottles and jars from the public, in addition to taking the HI-5 deposit beverage containers.
“This is an exciting expansion for us, as this makes glass recycling so much easier for the public. Instead of throwing these into the rubbish, or curbside bins, people can take their empty glass jars and bottles to any of our 31 Oahu redemption centers and get money for them. It means that they can take care of their glass deposit and non-deposit containers at the same locations”, says Terry Telfer, President of Reynolds Recycling
Reynolds Recycling is paying 4 cents a pound for non-deposit bottles and jars. This includes wine and liquor bottles, as well as jelly and cosmetics jars. More
