Waste Management - "Perspectives" eNewsletter

Aloha Friends,

Greetings from the Waste Management of Hawaii ohana (family)! We are proud to report exciting news on our operations and in our community.

Waste Management of Hawaii partnered with The Hawaii Food Basket, Inc., on the Big Island in March and donated $10,000 as part of its spring food drive, “Waste Not, Want Not”. As part of the campaign, 45,000 paper bags were inserted into copies of West Hawaii Today, Hawaii Tribune Herald and North Hawaii News to help The Food Basket reach their goal to raise $40,000 and collect 50,000 pounds of food and fulfill the more than 12,000 requests they receive monthly.

Waste Management recently launched a new company-wide educational, interactive Web site, “Thinkgreen.com,” which tells the story of opala (trash) from the curbside onward, highlights how advanced technologies are recovering resources and protecting our aina. Read on to learn more.

Finally, please welcome Jesse Frey, our new market area engineer. Jesse is a familiar face, as he previously worked as a consultant for us.

If you have any questions about our facilities or interested in a tour, please call me personally at (808) 668-2985 x 21.

Mahalo,
Russell Nanod
Community Affairs Manager
