Tour de Trash!

Lovely compost made by Hawaiian Earth Products

Students get a bus tour of Hawaiian Earth Products with City Recycling Specialist Kevin Nesnow to learn how their green bin waste is turned into much and compost.

Students learn about how cardboard is recycled at RRR Recycling. This is where things from our household blue bins end up.

Look at all that trash, ready to be converted into energy at H-Power


Ahmed at H-Power shows students the controller where you can see how much energy is being generated from trash!

On the next day, we went on field trips in the Kapolei region to focus on the theme of "waste management and recycling." Mahalo to the City and County of Honolulu's Recycling office for arranging a customized "Tour de Trash" for us. It was an eye-opening experience!
