<br /> may occur on their property (RSH requirements enclosed). <br /> ER Complaint -Misappropriation of State Glass Container Tax Page 7 <br /> The entire glass recycling program is a sham and a ruse. That is why more questions <br /> are raised than answered. <br /> 'The Recycle System's glass recycling program is accepting glass from <br /> the general public but they were not paying for it. Is this a violation of the <br /> State Glass Recycling program? <br /> "And again where is the money coming from to pay for the glass since the <br /> entire State tax monies designated for general public buy back is to be <br /> spent on equipment, labor, transportation...etc, and Recycling Systems <br /> cannot double dip into the County of Hawaii diversion grants program, <br /> according to Director of Finance Harty Takahashi? <br /> `Could it be that Recycing Systems is buying their own equipment. <br /> Equipment they already had in their possession and were using in their <br /> business operations, thus giving them a windfall of capital to use to buy <br /> other pertinent provisions and develop their facility. <br /> 'Further, Recycing Systems of Hawaii's recycling facility is on Hawaiian <br /> Homestead Lands residential and agricutural land and they pay only $1 <br /> (one dollar) per year, while other recycling businesses are required by law <br /> to be located on County industrially zoned land, paying around $31,000 <br /> per year to rent space. County zoning codes considers a recycling <br /> business as 'general industrial'. <br /> 'Did the State give Recycling Systems a health permit to operate an <br /> industrial business on Hawaiian Homestead Lands? If so, how and who at <br /> the State Department of Health issued the permit? Recycling Systems <br /> does not produce any agricultural commodity as prescribed by the <br /> Hawaiian Homes Commission; they don't farm; instead, they run several <br /> garbage businesses and a recycling business on the land, violating <br /> homestead commission policy. <br /> Environmental Recycling's intent is to insure that the people of this island have the best <br /> opportunities for recycling programs possible. To establish fairness and equity with <br /> respect to involvement of all possible recycling businesses that would wish to partake in <br /> both glass wllection and processing for the purpose of glass recyGing. <br /> It is with that in mind that we steadfastly oppose the issuing of Contract 96112. We will <br /> continually pursue more appropriate means for the formulation of the Big Island's glass <br /> <br />
