Hawaii to Only Provide Refund for Labeled Containers

by 02/29/08 2 Comments

Starting this Saturday, Hawaii residents seeking the state’s five cent refund for bottle and can recycling must make sure containers are marked with a “HI-5¢.”

Containers without this marking can still be recycled at the state’s redemption centers, but no refunds will be given. Since December 2007, Hawaii has been offering cash back on non-alcohol containers less than two-liters in size regardless of labeling.

All qualified products being currently sold in Hawaii should now have the HI-5¢ label. It covers products made of plastic.

To find one of Hawaii’s redemption centers, use Earth 911′s recycling locator. Learn about other states that have the bottle bill redemption program.
