<br />D. DO-IT-YOURSELF (DIY) USED MOTOR OIL RECYCLING: <br />• Forms B-202 and the ERC were completed on January 3, 2019, to have <br />available funds transferred for the purchase of UMO containment units to <br />replace damaged units and to add one new UMO site. <br />• IFB 3725 was awarded to Hawai‘i Petroleum and expires on August 31, 2019. <br />The NTP was issued on September 24, 2018. <br />• A list of island-wide year-round collection locations (six) is on our website at <br />http://www.Hawaiizerowaste.org/recycle/motor-oil. Residents can also <br />recycle DIY used motor oil at all County Household Hazardous Waste <br />Collection Events. Used motor oil (UMO) is not accepted at the recycling <br />and transfer stations. The DOH ended funding of the program in FY2015. <br />DEM funded the continuation of the UMO program in the FY2018 Budget. <br /> <br />E. REUSE CENTERS: <br />• RFP 3693 resulted in contract award to Transfer Station Thrift Store LLC for <br />all seven locations. <br />• The County operates seven Reuse Centers at Recycling and Transfer Stations <br />located in Hilo, Kea‘au, Pāhoa, Kealakehe, Keauhou, Waimea, and <br />Wai‘ōhinu. <br /> <br />F. ELECTRONICS RECYCLING: <br />• The IFB 3514 contract with Mr. K’s R&R expires April 17, 2019. <br />• Residents are allowed no-charge household electronics recycling on <br />Saturdays at Mr. K’s R&R. Businesses, non-profits, schools, and others are <br />offered discounted fees on Saturdays. An acceptable list and more <br />information is at http://hawaiizerowaste.org/recycle/e-waste. Mr. K’s is <br />open and accepting electronics daily. <br />• The County provides free monthly electronic recycling collections in Hilo, <br />Kona, Waimea and Wai‘ōhinu for residential electronics only. Details of the <br />County collections and any changes to private collections will be posted on <br />our website at http://hawaiizerowaste.org/recycle/e-waste. \\ <br />• Currently, no manufacturer offers convenient on-island take-back of <br />electronics. Manufacturers only offer this convenience on O‘ahu to comply <br />with the Electronic Waste and Television Recycling & Recovery Act <br />mandatory take-back provisions. A stronger EPR law requiring convenient <br />on-island manufacturer sponsored take-back should be considered. The <br />DOH awarded the County grant funding in FY2019, partially reimbursing <br />SWD electronics recycling expenditures. <br /> <br />4 <br /> <br />
