Whatever I get I give the guys 25% or more. It just feels good to recycle all of our stuff that we can. It’s a small island and our landfills won’t last forever. I always think about how incredible places like San Fran and Copenhagen are with landfill diversion. The guys there work hard, but don’t be late!
They took my return that had a redemption and asked if that was all. I asked the attendants if we were getting money back and he replied "oh, do you want your money back? Most people tell us to keep it" ...I feel like they were just assuming that if I didn't say anything I'd forget that I got a refund. I'd have no problem tipping if it didn't seem like they were trying to swindle us. But there wasn't a line, which is why it's two stars instead of one.
Worst recycling center on islands and very prejudice, gave a full can of mine to another customer, me and other customer both said it was my can and the worker said something in a foreign language and proceeded wth , just today I wrote all my weights down and he shorted me by half then acted like he couldn’t
comprehend English then proceeded , been trying to find the upper management??? Non existent??? Avoid this place at all costs seriously, Kahului way more profitable professional and speak English dialect
Avoid this place. I was recently on Maui and brought cans and bottles here twice to be recycled. I'm sure I was shorted by over half of what I was owed the first visit. When questioned, the employee gave me an explanation that made no sense. I pre-counted my cans and bottles the second time and was shorted exactly ten percent. The employee knew something was up, but I didn't feel like arguing with him. This is pathetic.
The guys that work here are so helpful and nice! It’s my first time dropping off a bag full of recyclables for redemption and they explained how it worked and helped me separate them into bins.
Grateful to have this recycling center in Kihei! I always find the staff to be friendly. When I visited yesterday Jeffrey at the Good Will donation truck took the time to explain how to prepare donations, i.e. separating different kinds of items, etc. Thank you to the staff for helping to support recycling on the island.

Quick and efficient. We turned in 2 paper bags of plastic bottles, 2 paper bags of aluminum cans and 2 glass bottles. We received $6.05 and kept it all out of the landfill. =)
I have a complaint about the Recycle Center in Kihei on E. Welakahao Rd.
It is NOT posted that glass beverage containers are to be weighed for the maximum refund!
I assumed ALL aluminum or glass beverage containers were valued at five cents.
This is a serious breach on the part of the County and also the employees who failed to notify us!!
The refrigerator magnet we received a few months ago from the Recycle Center is NOT informative. It doesn't have a phone number nor hours of business!
Always a clean facility with friendly people to help you. I always leave the few extra dollars that I get back as a tip for the staff. I'm very happy just knowing the items are actually being recycled and I'm doing my part to keep Maui a beautiful place.
Today was very overwhelming for the crew at the kihei recycling center. Not sure if they were training a new person but today was not a good day to do this. The manager or supervisor was yelling at the guy and the guy was getting annoyed and got up and went to do something else, the sup went over and was yelling at the guy to go back and finish helping the customer. Long story short they need to train the workers properly to handle the customers in a friendly manner.

I brought a variety of recycling including a garbage bag full of redeemables , which the attendant put into the back of his pickup as I was putting the other recycling in their appropriate containers. I didn’t say anything, because I was the only one there. I should have. I thought I was supposed to get money for the redeemables. Right?
