Decades of Recycling Leadership Built the Island Recycling Way

Working out of an old shipping container as an office in Kalihi, Honolulu, Jim Nutter started Island Recycling in 1983 with the goal of introducing the concept of RECYCLING as a means of helping to keep Hawaii clean and beautiful while preserving the earth’s resources.

 

Today, Island Recycling operates on seven acres in Campbell Industrial Park. Island Recycling has grown to be the state’s premier MULTI-COMMODITY recycling center, helping the public, commercial, and governmental entities keep more than 60,000 tons of recyclable material out of the waste stream per year.

Accepting steel, vehicles and equipment, major appliances, non-ferrous metals (copper, brass, aluminum, stainless steel, monel, etc.), wastepaper, plastics, tires, car batteries, and electronics, as well as HI-5 containers. Island Recycling can be the one-stop spot for most of your recyclables, with free notary for copper sales, affordable hauling service, and equipment sales and rental.

 

While Island Recycling accepts, processes, and ships nearly 300 containers of recyclables per month to mills in Asia and the West Coast, we strive to offer friendly, personalized customer service and the fairest rebates for your commodities, based on current market values… Always in the ALOHA SPIRIT!
