Why the HI Bottle Bill is good for Kauaʻi
- Increased statewide redemption rate of aluminum, plastic, and glass beverage containers to around 70%
- Reduces litter in our parks and beaches
- Provides fundraising opportunities for community organizations and schools
- Initiated new recycling habits overall
Here's how the Bottle Bill works: 4 easy steps
- A 5¢ deposit per beverage container is charged to the purchase of GLASS, ALUMINUM, and PLASTIC containers defined under the law.
- A 1¢ non-refundable container fee is also assessed to support the costs of recycling and program administration.
- Deposit containers are marked with a label that reads "Hawaiʻi 5¢" or "HI 5¢".
- You return HI5 beverages and receive payment based upon the weight or hand count (200 or less) of your beverage containers.
What's In:
Size: 2-liter (68 oz) or smaller
Drink: Water, juice, soda, tea, coffee, beer, malt beverages, mixed spirits (<15% alcohol), some mixed wine (<7% alcohol) and alcohol free wines, drink mixer, and sports drinks.
Material Type: glass, plastic (#1 & #2), aluminum, and bi-metal
Labeled: HI 5¢, HAWAII 5¢, Hawaii 5¢
What's Out:
Size: larger than 68 fluid ounces ( larger than 2-liter or gallon jugs)
Drink: wine, spirits and liquor (15% or more alcohol content), milk, spirits, concentrates, medical food, infant formula, and syrups.
How to Prepare HI5 Containers:
Empty containers
No liquid, food, trash or other contaminates |
Remove Caps
From all bottles |
Crushing
Aluminum and plastic may be crushed. |
Sort by material type
Plastic, glass, aluminum and bi-metal ~ Plastic can also be separated into small (17 oz or less) and large (18 oz 68 oz) to take advantage of small plastics rate. |
Commercial Loads
Accepted at all CRC centers except Koloa. |
Hand Counts Up to 200 can be counted at a time. Over 200 can be counted at the discretion of the redemption center staff. Customer hand counts will not be accepted |
How you're paid:
Segregated rates effective as of December 2010
- Materials will be weighed and paid at the following State regulated rates:
- Aluminum: 32 units per lb. = $1.60 per lb.
- Plastic (mixed sizes): 18.8 units per lb. = $0.94 per lb.
- Plastic (17 oz. or less, sorted): 26.3 units per lb. = $1.315 per lb.
- Glass: 2.4 units per lb. = $0.12 per lb
- Bi-metal cans: 5.9 units per lb.=$0.295per lb.
- Note: 2-liter containers may be mixed in with the plastic containers or counted separately.
