No reuse donation drive in December; event to resume in January
Due to the Salvation Army’s bell-ringing donation drive, there will not be a County Reuse
Drop-Off event in December. The program has been very successful, sending almost 100 tons
of material to O‘ahu for reuse which would otherwise be landfilled.
“The people of Kaua‘i want to do the right thing and it shows,” said Mayor Derek S. K.
Kawakami. “Your donation not only keeps good and useful items out of our landfill, but it also
helps those most in need that the Salvation Army services.”
The next event will be on Friday, Jan. 8, from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Kaua‘i Resource
Center (KRS) located at 3460 Ahukini Road.
We encourage everyone to visit their local thrift stores as many have reopened. If your
items are not accepted at a thrift store you can utilize our reuse cart in front of the KRC to drop-
off donations. The reuse cart is available Monday through Friday from 7:45 a.m. to 4 p.m. The
cart is for small donations only, if you have a large donation, please call the County’s Recycling
Office to make an appointment. The County cannot assist with unloading donations at these
appointments, so we recommend bringing help if unloading large items.
Please visit the County’s Reuse page at www.kauai.gov/reuse to see list of local
donation options including home pick-up service. For more information or to make an
appointment call 808-241-4841.
