Spotlight on Our Recyclers
Lynise: Making Treasures with Thrift Lynise loves to keep her eyes open for things that she can transform into gifts for her loved ones. In Mr. K's thrift shop, she found some material with playful drawings of safari animals like giraffes, rhinos and hippos. Lynise plans to bring them to life by coloring them and creating something to give to one of her grandchildren. Lynise carries with her business cards that say, "Make gratitude your attitude." Mahalo for sharing your spirit of appreciation, generosity and creativity, Lynise! |

Mr. K's Recycles PV Solar Panels!
Photovoltaic (PV) solar panels, used to generate electricity, have an average life of 20 to 40 years, and panels installed going back to the 19080's are starting to age out. Many contain lead, cadmium, and other toxic chemicals that can leach into the soil. Keep PV solar panels out of our landfills by bringing them to Mr. K's for convenient recycling. |
