'RECYCLING GUIDE' TO DEBUT BIGGEST PROJECT YET

The 12th edition of the Maui Recycling Group's "Recycling Guide" will be published as in insert in The Maui News on Friday.

The 12-page tabloid highlights recycling programs in the tourist industry, the current recycling picture on Maui, and provides an opportunity for all residents and visitors to get involved in the biggest recycling project ever undertaken on Maui.

Additional copies of the guide will be available at public libraries beginning Monday.

As the editor of the tabloid, I encourage the public to contact me with suggestions and comments about reducing waste, reusing materials, and recycling on Maui. I am especially interested in receiving letters that might be printed in the next edition in mid-May. My e-mail address is sjoy@flex.com.

The Recycling Guide is supported by the sale of advertising; no grant funds are used in the cost of production, printing or distribution.

Maui Recycling Group Inc. is a private nonprofit organization established in 1989 to provide public education, research, training and technical assistance to encourage environmentally and economically sound solid waste resource management systems in the County of Maui and the State of Hawaii.
