| Each
year, approximately 900 million beverage containers are sold in
Hawai'i. These containers are often discarded in the waste
stream or as litter in our community. Consumers can help by recycling
as many beverage containers as possible. As an incentive, the Hawai'i
Deposit Beverage Container Program places a 5¢ redeemable deposit
on each beverage container. Consumers get back their 5¢ when they
return their containers to a redemption center. |
