Kealakehe Transfer Station and Recycling Center

Online hours say open until 6pm. Posted hours say open until 6pm. They were closed when I arrived at 5:30. There is no number to call to check if they're open for real. I wasted 40 minutes. Roll the dice and hope for the best. ☹️

Well done for giving another life. slightly unpleasant smell

Hidden Kona Thrift store. I happened on this store when I was recycling. Very small and also inexpensive. It is NOT your usual thrift store so I am rating it as a rarity. People in there are really nice. Follow the Google directions and when you get to the end of the road, take a left with the recycling arrow. 3/2024 chabge if rating. I visited it again and it has changed. Was not as inexpensive and was disorganized. Not on my list anymore.

Auntie is always friendly, and make good prices and let me bargain aloha I found my cast iron pan for 20 and a clock for 3!

They change their hours. But don’t adjust all online venues that help promote them. So misleading and very confusing.. most of all frustrating to show up at a location at 2:00 and the place says 3:00. And you spent all day separating and loading cans , plastic and bottles . Uggh. They should have one central Kona location open 7 am to 5pm so those who don’t make it to one of the other constantly closing early locations, can at least have a consistent second location They changed it on the sign with marker pen…. LOL. You find out after driving 20 miles. Now drive back with all bags and have to make the trip again tomorrow
