RRR Recycling Services Hawaii

Never, ever come here on time expecting the workers to be prompt. I got here well before opening, with one employee on site, but the «cashier» didn’t show up until almost an hour later! I’m very busy, with things that need to get done everyday, so the waste of time was ridiculous!

Great place to take your bottles/​cans, the worker with the long ponytail should be commeded by the manager or boss, very hard worker with a great attitude !

After drinking all of your alcohol, water, juice, tea, soda, & coffee.
You would like to get your 5 cents back!
& if you ever need to bring in your HI-​5!
I really recommend this location.
RRR is located on Kaonohi St. before the Kam Swap Meat’s entrance.
I’ve been to 2 other RRR Recycling services location & really prefer this location.
Here are my reasons:
This location is not crowded, (I usually go on Sundays, its always 1 or 2 customers before me)
I love there is shelter! (from the very hot weather or when it rains)
The workers & other customers are very friendly.
@ other 2 locations, I came across a few grouchy customers & workers are not as nice!
Parking is never a problem
Very convenient entering & exiting the lot.
I am able to hang out on this side of town & get my recycles done which is very convenient!
Tips:
*You will have to sort out your recycles.
plastic in one bins, cans, & glass– needs to be separated by colors.
*soda bottles & water bottles bigger than 20 oz. should go in another bin. you get a little more for this.
*bring/​wear gloves
*remove caps
* anything w/​out labels, they don’t accept
— make sure that the labels stays on.
*if you have little water bottles (5 – 8 oz), its better to have them count this.
*make sure your bottles/​label states HI-​5 on them. (Asian drinks doesn’t have the HI-​5)
* you have the option of having your recycles weighed or counted (up to 200)
* you don’t get any thing for wine bottles & milk bottles
* On Sundays, they close @ 4pm, the later time really helps! (since there is so much to do on this part of the island)
Over-​all, I’ve never had a bad experience here!
All my visits here, my HI-​5 process goes really smoothly!
Then its off to enjoy the rest of my Sundays, (Until next time when I have to go back for my HI-​5)
So grateful for this location. =0)

Great service! As soon as you pull in, you can just bring in your bottles/​cans and they’ll sort out everything for you.

I made $ 66 off of a bunch of glass, plastics, cans today. It took two trips. Even if you have a crap ton of recyclables, it is still more worthwhile to sort them BEFORE you get there. When you DO get there, they will help you with *some* of the sorting, and will ask you to separate the brown glass from the white glass from the blue/​green glass from the wine bottles/​large bottled glass.
One of the attendants kind of poked fun at me a little for having so many booze bottles to recycle. Heh heh.

No frills HI-​5 recycling. Parking was easy, but you might have to wait a while, since they only have one person running the place.

For me this is a very convenient location to take my bottles and cans for Hi5 recycling and cash! It’s pretty much a couple blocks from where I live and best of all right next to Pearlridge Mall. It’s also right next to the Kam Swap Meet. The transfer process is very quick and smooth. The staff and customer service is good. They have a trash can where you can dump your plastic bags that you used for you cans and bottles. They also have hand sanitizer. The parking area is fairly spacious so there’s a decent room for many people to come in. They operate out of a shack from where you can see when you drive and come into the area. It’s also easily walkable just in case you parked elsewhere and get some exercise just in case you don’t want to drive there. It’s easily walkable from Pearlridge or the Westridge Shopping Center. It’s one of the better redemption places I go and have been to. They have their signage on their shack so that you always know when they are open and/​or closed.

I used to take my bottles and cans to the recycling place where the Shell gas station is located in Aiea across the shopping center. But out of convenience I tried this place.
This place is very convenient in the middle of Aiea. It’s in the parking lot on the corner of Moanalua Rd and Kaonohi St where the old Kam Drive in was and where they have Kam swap meet.
The workers are friendly and helpful. They do give you the option if weighing or counting. Btw, weighing often gets you a little more for cans, especially if you drink Arizona tea or Monster like cans! They let you take the containers to your car too.
The location is big trailer and has a lot of parking. It’s not as hectic or cramped as the other location at Shell which is a small corner with just a covering set up, like the ones you set up for party at the beach and there’s hardly any parking.
Whenever I have come here, everything always goes smoothly. I have been here when there’s been 5 or 6 other people but they do get thins moving right along.
Overall friendly staff, convenient location, seamless system and money in my pocket! Bring your Hi5 here!

After a few events and a hectic week my car was littered with empty water bottles. I decided it was time to stop by the recycling center and clean out my car. I went to a location in town and they denied me the right to bring the plastic tubs to my car for sorting, forcing me to find a different location. Having a meeting in Aiea, I decided to go to this RRR Recycling location. The employees were nice and friendly. They gladly allowed me to bring the plastic tub to my car. They upgraded this location with their new shack as well. Although this isn’t my usual recycling spot I will gladly choose this location as an alternate.
