Congrats to all who participated in the huge recycling event at Kaimuki High School on Saturday!With a steady stream of cars passing through the parking lot from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m., volunteers collected 45,000 pounds of scrap metal; 75 refrigerators; 10 air conditioners; a shipping container each of green waste and tires and 2 shipping containers of newspaper, cardboard and beverage containers; two truckloads of computers; dozens of cell phones and printer cartridges; 150 batteries; 500 telephone books; 20 gallons of cooking oil and lots of household items for Goodwill stores.
Speaker Say and Reps. Caldwell, Nishimoto, Saiki and Belatti and their office staff pitched in to help.
