Precious Plastics Hawi'i

This info was taken directly from their webiste preciousplasticshawaii.com

"Creating a circular economy and zero waste system for Hawai'i

Offering a wide variety of business and residential plastics, cans and bottles pick up services. Our goal is to connect the community with each other to reduce the amount of plastics that end up in the landfills or burned for energy.

To do this we partner up with local community members and groups wanting to divert the plastics away from the current polluting systems to better alternative projects. All cans and bottles picked up will be recycled the same day and the funds will be donated to the nonprofit, Bottles 4 College which is a local group working to collect cans and bottles to help pay for local student's college.

If you're interested in purchasing the Precious Plastics we collect for your own projects, contact us below to get more details!
