<br />Exhibit 2 -8 provides a breakdown of total waste discarded at County recycling and transfer
<br />stations and total commercial waste delivered directly to landfills between 2001 and 2008 for
<br />West and East Hawai'i. As shown, disposal at recycling and transfer stations has grown
<br />slightly faster in East Hawai'i than in West Hawai'i during this period. Commercial
<br />disposal growth in West Hawai'i has been particularly strong, increasing 53 percent in
<br />7 years for an average annual rate of 6.3 percent. Commercial waste comprises
<br />approximately 61 percent, while waste from recycling and transfer stations comprise
<br />approximately 39 percent of the total disposed waste countywide. Commercial waste
<br />accounts for a larger share of the total in West Hawai'i (68 percent) than in East Hawai'i
<br />(51 percent).
