A recycling event will be held in Hana Dec. 8 and 9 to help East Maui residents dispose of metals and electronics, Maui County announced Wednesday.
The Department of Environmental Management event will be held at the Hana Recycling Center across from the Hana Landfill on Waikoloa Road from 8 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. on each day. Capacity for hauling out of Hana will be limited, and an equal amount of bin space will be available on the first and second day of the event. If the daily limit is reached on Dec. 8, the event will close and reopen the next day. The event will end at 2:30 p.m. Dec. 9 or when the bins are full.
Items that will be accepted for drop-off are large appliances, including refrigerators, freezers, air conditioning units, water coolers, washers, dryers, ranges and stoves, dishwashers and water heaters; electronics, including televisions, printers, computers and monitors; auto batteries; tires; propane tanks (with or without valves); and scrap metals. Small machines must be fully drained of all liquids. Commercial drop-offs will not be accepted, only residential drop-offs.
Staff will help residents remove items from their vehicles.
