| ABOUT RECYCLING During the 1990s, PFI offered a weekly curbside recycling service. PFI was not involved in the actual recycling process, only transporting the materials to recycling centers. Currently, we do not offer a curbside recycling program in West Hawaii. Please keep your recycling away from your regular trash. We don't want to take it to the landfill by mistake!
