When you recycle, valuable resources are kept out of the landfill and made into new products. To make this process cost effective, Maui County Recycling Centers only collect high-value materials accepted on the global commodity market. Therefore, it is important to only put recyclable items in the collection bins. When you “wishcycle” or try to recycle items that are not accepted, those items need to be sorted out. It’s more important than ever to stick to the list, keep it clean, and reduce waste whenever possible.
