Background:
Aloha Shares Network was a Statewide program managed by Maui
Recycling Group, Inc, in partnership with Base Yard Hawaii,
State of Hawaii DBEDT, and Rural Community Assistance Corp.
Funding was provided, in part, by the County of Maui Dept.
of Public Works & Waste Management, and the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency Region 9. Today, Aloha
Shares Network is fully functional, but not
funded.
Our
mission:
The Aloha Shares Network mission is to keep good, usable
material out of Maui's landfill and get this material into
the hands of our nonprofits, churches, and
schools.
Who may
participate?
Donations of material are accepted from anyone in our
community, including businesses, organizations, individuals,
and government agencies. Recipients must be nonprofit
organizations, churches, or schools registered in the State
of Hawaii,
What kind of
donations are needed?
We accept donations of all kinds, as long as they are in
good, clean, working condition. Items that require mending,
cleaning, or repair are not accepted for listing in Aloha
Shares Network.
Does Aloha
Shares Network pick up your donation?
No, we don't handle any donated items. We match your
donation with a request on our automated database and put
the recipient directly in touch with you to arrange pick up
or delivery.
Is there a
charge for this service?
No, there is no charge to either the donor or the recipient
for the service offered by Aloha Shares Network. The donor
may not charge the recipient for the items
donated.
What are the
benefits of participating in Aloha Shares Network?
Island landfills receive less waste. Hawaii's nonprofit
organizations, churches, and schools get good, usable
material they need, without using their limited funds for
it. Donors of the material avoid charges for hauling,
storage, and disposal, and receive a receipt for tax
purposes.
