Big Island e-scrap program shuts down
E-scrap collection centers on the big island of Hawaii have stopped accepting unwanted electronics equipment due to a lack of funding for the Hawaii County program. The county had a contract with a local contractor, Recycle Hawaii through the end of last year. Hawaii County paid $320,000 to keep the program running through 2009.According to area reports, Recycle Hawaii ended collection operations because it no longer has adequate storage space and no monies to ship excess equipment to the mainland. Until the county can find funding to restart operations, it is asking big island residents to hold onto their unwanted equipment.
