A quarterly metals recycling-collection event in Hāna will be held on Friday, March 8 and Saturday, March 9, announced the Department of Environmental Management.

The event will be held at the Hāna Recycling Center across from the Hāna Landfill on Waikoloa Road. The center will be open for collections from 8 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. each day or until bins are full due to limited hauling capacity. Event staff will help residents remove items from their vehicles. Commercial drop-offs will not be accepted.

Items accepted include appliances, refrigerators, freezers, air conditioning units, water coolers, washers, dryers, stoves, dishwashers, water heaters, automobile batteries, tires, propane tanks (with or without valves) and scrap metals.
