Talkin’ Trash – Ep. 9 | Recycling on Kaua‘i: Sorting, Saving & Cashing In

Hōʻike Kauaʻi Community Media

Ever wondered what really happens when you haul your recycling and trash on Kaua‘i? In this hands-on episode of Talkin’ Trash, host Max Richardson takes listeners along for a real-life recycling run — sorting cans, bottles, cardboard, and glass at home, stopping at the Kapa‘a drop-off, and heading to the Līhu‘e transfer station to redeem HI-5s and drop off green waste.

It’s a practical, down-to-earth look at what goes where, common mistakes to avoid, and how those nickels add up — with plenty of local tips for making recycling easier (and even a little fun).

Produced by Hōʻike Kaua‘i Community Media.
