The 5 cents a bottle is good incentive, but those centers are so spread out that I usually end up spending the money I make on gas, anyway.
That's kind of an interesting issue really, the environmental cost of not recycling vs. the costs related to recycling, maybe more so because you are in Hawaii. Do they ship the crap to the mainland to be recycled or do you have that kind of manufacturing and recycling there. (I apologize for my dumbness on this point.)
