Operational Changes for the Hi-5 Certified Redemption Centers at Waimea, Hilo, Kealakehe, and Volcano

The Department of Environmental Management is informing the public that the Department of Health will no longer fund the HI-5 Certified Redemption Center (CRC) sites at the Waimea, Hilo, and Kealakehe transfer stations because there are operational CRCs within a short distance from the above-mentioned sites.

In addition, the Volcano CRC contract was put out for bid, and due to a lack of interest by the current Certified Redemption Center (CRC) vendors for Volcano no bids were submitted for the continued CRC service to this community. DEM was able to negotiate a 90-day time extension for the Volcano site, subject to the service date changing from Saturday to Thursday. DEM intends to put the contract out for bid again in hopes of getting interested vendors willing to bid for providing the service within available DOH funding.

Please see the schedule for Certified Recycling Center days of operations for these sites:
