Mid-Year Dashboard 2: Electronics

New E-Waste Law & Monthly West HI Collection Successful

     Hawai`i Island residents and organizations saved $229,919 in fees for the record 172 tons of electronic waste they've recycled over the first half of 2023. The savings is thanks to Act 151, which funds the program by manufacturers of electronic devices sold in the state.
     West Hawai`i residents made good use of twice monthly collection events in Kailua-Kona, where lead acid batteries, solar panels and newspaper are also collected. (map)
