Reminder for Christmas Tree Recycling this Saturday

This is a reminder that Oahu Christmas Treecycling will take place on Saturday, January 11, 2003 from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. at the following locations:

• Kailua Intermediate School
• Kaiser High School
• Kaneohe District Park
• Kapalama Elementary School
• Kapiolani Community College (at the corner of 18^th and Kilauea Avenues)
• Kapolei Elementary School
• Mililani Makaunulau (16 Acre) Park
• Polynesian Cultural Center
• UH Manoa (Richardson Law School parking lot)
• Waianae Comprehensive Health Center
• Waimea Falls Park
• Waiau District Park

*Please note that Kaneohe District Park was inadvertantly left out of some previously released material

Only clean trees will be accepted for recycling. Trees that are flocked or contain foreign objects such as tinsel, nails, and ornament clips will not be accepted for recycling. Also, no wreaths will be accepted because they contain wiring that will harm the chippers.

Note: Treecycling arrangements are in place for the one collection day only. Please do not drop trees off at the collection sites either before or after January 11. For other options see below.

Other Oahu options:

1. The City & County of Honolulu offers curbside greenwaste collection services. The twice-a-month, year-round service is provided in all areas that receive automated refuse collection service.
   
   
2. All City & County of Honolulu Refuse Convenience Centers accept greenwaste year round, and are open from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily. For more information on curbside pick-up or for the location of the nearest Refuse Convenience Center, call the City's Recycling Office at 692-5410.
   
   
3. Hawaiian Earth Products, a composting company, accepts greenwaste from residents year round. They have facilities in Campbell Industrial Park and in the Kapaa Quarry area on the windward side. Call Hawaiian Earth Products at 682-5895 for more information.
