Diversion efforts bloom on Hawaiian island

摘要

Kauai is known as the Garden Island, so named for its impressive array of green space. But the Hawaiian island's "green" association is also visible in its robust recycling efforts. Kauai County, which encompasses the entire island, began ramping up its recycling efforts in mid-2000, when the county hired its first recycling coordinator. In the years prior, there were drop-off options for a limited list of items, including motor oil and household hazardous waste.
