A two-day metals recycling event to help East Maui residents haul and dispose of electronics and other items will be held from 8 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. June 16 and 17 at Hana Landfill’s Hana Recyling Center.
The event will be operated on a first-come, first-served basis because capacity for hauling out of Hana is limited, according to a county news release.
Equal amounts of bin space will be available on both days. Once the daily limit is reached June 16, the event will close and reopen June 17. The event ends at 2:30 p.m. June 17 or when the bins are full.
Items accepted include large appliances, up to five auto tires (per household, per event), auto batteries, propane tanks (both with and without valves), scrap metals (one truckload per household limit) and electronics. Small machines must be fully drained of all liquids (such as gasoline). Appliances accepted include refrigerators, freezers, A/C units, water coolers, washers, dryers, dishwashers, ranges/stoves and water heaters. Electric items that will be accepted include TVs, computers, monitors and printers.
Event staff will help residents remove items from vehicles.
The next Hana metals recycling event will be set for Sept. 15-16.
