A certified redemption center which turns HI 5 containers into cash (actual cash, no checks), Aloha Recycling accepts aluminum, plastic, glass and bi metal drink containers and readies the material for other products. The recycled glass is crushed onsite and used by local companies as pipe cushion and asphalt mix. It is also used for sandblasting, decorative landscaping, and water filtration.

      The clear plastic bottles are shipped to China where they are used in making items like indoor/outdoor carpet. Number 2 plastics are bailed and sent to the west coast where they are processed into plastic lumber. And the aluminum is crushed and packed into forty foot containers and shipped to Alabama , to a major aluminum recycling factory. Aluminum recycled today can be back on the shelf as a new recycled can in as little as 60 days. There is no limit to the times aluminum can be recycled. But, most importantly, recycled items do not go into our landfill and that’s a huge savings for Maui !
