THE UPS STORE KAHALA OFFER CONVENIENT RECYCLING SOLUTIONS

            Spring and summer bring many momentous occasions: Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, weddings, graduations, and students returning home from college. With these events and celebrations come millions of packages traveling across the country, many of them filled with foam packaging peanuts. After unpacking, many people wonder if there’s a more environmentally conscious alternative to throwing all those peanuts into a landfill. Fortunately, recycling those pesky peanuts is as easy as visiting The UPS Store Kahala located at 4224 Waialae Avenue.

            In celebration of Earth Day, on April 22, The UPS Store Kahala is encouraging consumers to help protect the environment by bringing in clean, foam packaging peanuts of all sizes, shapes and colors for reuse. This is part of an ongoing effort by The UPS Store Kahala to increase peanut recycling throughout the year.

            According to the Plastic Loose Fill Council, an organization founded in 1991 to promote the reuse of polystyrene loose-fill, more than 30 percent of plastic loose-fill is used again. For business centers such as The UPS Store Kahala, that reuse rate can be as high as 50 percent.

            “We encourage people to recycle every day, not just on Earth Day,” said Larry Adler, The UPS Store franchisee. “This is our opportunity to help the environment, while providing a convenient solution for the Honolulu community.”

            For additional information about peanut recycling, visit the Plastic Loose Fill Council’s Web site at www.loosefillpackaging.com.

            In addition to packaging peanuts, The UPS Store Kahala accepts a wide variety of toner cartridges for recycling with UPS Return Service. All HP consumable products come with a UPS RS label, which simplify recycling efforts by consumers.  Please ask a The UPS Store associate for more information.

            The UPS Store Kahala offers domestic and international shipping; full-service packing; digital printing; black-and-white and color duplications; document finishing (binding, laminating, etc.); notary; printing services (business cards, letterhead, rubber stamps, etc.); custom crating and shipping for large items (e.g., grandfather clocks, sailboards); mailbox and postal services; office and packaging supplies; and more.
