LIHUE, Hawaii (AP) - Kauai officials are beginning a pilot
curbside recycling program on parts of island.
Workers will pick up recycling at homes in Puhi and parts of
Lihue starting next week Thursday.
Kauai County has already delivered specialized recycling carts
with blue lids to 1,300 homes in the area.
Kauai has contracted Garden Isle Disposal, Inc. to sort and
track the recyclables.
The program will accept cardboard, newspaper, mixed paper,
aluminum and plastics marked with the numerals 1 or 2 in a
recycling logo.
It will also accept glass food and beverage containers.
