<br /> ACTIVITIES: Carmen Kinsey continues as the Used Motor Oil Collection Coordinator for Recycle <br /> Hawaii. She is directly responsible for island-wide oversight of the RH Used Motor Oil Program. <br /> Ms. Kinsey completed updating and publishing of the "Used Motor Oil Collection Program Technical <br /> <br /> Assistance Guide for 2004." The guide, converted entirely to digital format, will be posted to the website <br /> in the next quarter. The new printed guides will be distributed to all current participants and will be <br /> made available to all potential sites. <br /> <br /> ACCOMPLISHMENTS: Paauilo Village Service was successfully added to service the Hamakua Coast <br /> in lieu of the former Island Beltway Service in Honoka'a. Recycle Hawaii continues to receive a <br /> reduced fee for reclamation of used motor oil from used motor oil collection companies. RH pays only <br /> $.76 per gallon for oil reclaimed by HP and $.65 per gallon for oil reclaimed by Unitek Solvent Services. <br /> Regular accounts pay approximately $.91 per gallon. For future radio spots, Carmen Kinsey was able to <br /> negotiate continued equal free spots as paid spots at KBIG and KAPA. <br /> SETBACKS: On June 30, 2004, Recycle Hawaii was informed by Johnna Nitsche that their lease at <br /> Ocean View Services had not been renewed. The Nitsche's needed to vacate the premises by July 31, <br /> 2004. Recycle Hawaii started the process of negotiation with the new owners or find a new location for <br /> used motor oil collections in Ka u. <br /> Clandestine contaminated oil continues to be a concern at Kona Harley-Davidson. In addition, used <br /> motor oil continues to be left at island transfer stations. This oil is usually collected by Kona Harley- <br /> Davidson staff and County workers, respectively, and disposed of at County Household Hazardous <br /> Waste in June and December. <br /> Signage has been posted at Kona Harley-Davidson and other problem transfer stations warning <br /> individuals that it is illegal to leave used motor oil at the site unattended. <br /> The immediate concern of Recycle Hawaii is in finding a new site in Ocean View for used motor oil <br /> collections. <br /> Recycle Hawaii will continue to seek out new sites for used motor oil collection. There is an immediate <br /> need in South Kona and the Kohala coast. True Value Hardware in Volcano and Pahoa Hardware in <br /> Pahoa as well as Hilo Harley-Davidson should be on-line by the end of the next fiscal year. <br /> Form UO 01-O1 <br /> Rev. 110601 <br /> Page 9 <br /> <br />
