‘Talking ʻŌpala’ seminar returns to discuss recycling efforts on Maui, Oct. 21

Mālama Maui Nui’s Talking ʻŌpala Environmental Speaker Series returns this month with a focus on “Recycling Efforts on Maui.” The fourth session of the series will take place on Monday, Oct. 21, from 5 to 6 p.m. at the Four Seasons Resort Maui Ballroom in Wailea.

The event will spotlight local recycling efforts — from e-waste to household used cooking oil to metals, and everything in between. Featured speakers include representatives from Pacific Biodiesel, Maui E-Opala (Electronic Recycling), Hammerhead Metals Recycling and E-H International.

Participants will learn about current recycling programs and challenges on Maui and discover practical ways to responsibly dispose of e-waste. The event also provides a chance to connect with community sustainability leaders and others committed to protecting the island environment.

Attendees are encouraged to bring their electronic waste (e-waste) to the event, where a drop-off station will accept items such as computers, laptops, cell phones, tablets, printers, small household electronics, cords and cables.
