Ua ʻohi ʻia nā mea hana hou ma ka ʻaoʻao o Harrisburg a me nā kūlanakauhale ʻē aʻe he nui ma PennWaste ma York County, kahi hale hana hou e hana ana i 14,000 tons o recyclables i kēlā me kēia mahina. Ua ʻōlelo ʻo ka luna hoʻoponopono hou ʻana, ʻo Tim Horkay, ʻo ke kaʻina hana, he 97 pakeneka ka pololei o ka hoʻokaʻawale ʻana i nā ʻano mea hana hou.
Hiki ke hana hou ʻia ka hapa nui o nā ʻeke pepa, plastic, aluminika a me ka waiū e nā poʻe noho me ka pilikia ʻole. Pono e holoi ʻia nā pahu, akā ʻaʻole hoʻomaʻemaʻe. Hiki ke ʻae ʻia kahi ʻōpala meaʻai liʻiliʻi, akā ʻaʻole ʻae ʻia nā pahu pizza momona a i ʻole ka nui o nā ʻōpala meaʻai i hoʻopaʻa ʻia i nā mea.
ʻOiai ua maʻalahi kēia kaʻina hana i kēia manawa, aia nō i ka hale PennWaste he 30 mau kānaka no ka hoʻololi ʻana i nā mea āu e waiho ai i loko o nā ʻōpala. ʻO ia ke ʻano o ke kanaka maoli e hoʻopā i nā mea. Me ia noʻonoʻo, eia kekahi mau ʻōlelo aʻoaʻo no ka mea ʻaʻole e hoʻolei i ka ʻōpala.
No ka maʻi maʻi maʻi maʻi kēia mau nila pōkole. Akā ua hana pū nā limahana PennWaste i nā nila lōʻihi.
ʻAʻole hoʻokomo ʻia nā ʻōpala lāʻau i ka papahana hana hou ma muli o ka hiki ʻana mai o nā mea maʻi maʻi i lawe ʻia ma ke koko. Eia naʻe, ʻōlelo nā luna he 600 paona o nā nila i pau i PennWaste i ka makahiki i hala, a ʻike ʻia ka piʻi ʻana o ka helu. Ke loaʻa nā nila ma nā kāʻei conveyor, e like me nā kini plastik, pono nā limahana e hoʻōki i ka laina e kiʻi i waho. Loaʻa kēia i ka nalowale o 50 mau hola o ka mīkini manawa i kēlā me kēia makahiki. Ua ʻeha kekahi poʻe paʻahana e nā nila ʻūlū ʻoiai ke komo ʻana i nā mīkina lima impermeable.
ʻAʻole ʻo ka lāʻau a me ka styrofoam kekahi o nā mea i hana hou ʻia ma ke alanui. Pono e wehe ʻia nā mea like ʻole i hoʻolei ʻia me nā mea hana hou e nā limahana a hoʻolei ʻia.
ʻOiai he mea maikaʻi nā ipu plastik no ka hana hou ʻana, ʻaʻole i kaulana nā ipu i loaʻa i ka aila a i ʻole nā wai ʻē aʻe ma nā kikowaena hana hou. ʻO kēia no ka mea, ʻo ka ʻaila a me nā wai hiki ke hoʻopau i nā pilikia i ka hana hou ʻana, me ka hana ʻana i nā kiko uila a me ka hoʻololi ʻana i ka kemika o nā plastic. Pono e hoʻolei ʻia ia mau pahu i loko o ka ʻōpala a i ʻole hoʻohana hou ʻia ma ka home e pale ai i ka ʻike ʻana i ke koena aila.
Aia nā wahi e hiki ai iā ʻoe ke hana hou i nā lole e like me Goodwill a i ʻole The Salvation Army, akā ʻaʻole ʻo nā ʻōpala ʻōpala ke koho maikaʻi loa. Hiki i nā lole ke hoʻopaʻa i nā mīkini ma nā keʻena hana hou, no laila pono nā limahana e makaʻala i ka wā e hoʻāʻo ai e wehe i nā lole hewa.
ʻAʻole hiki ke hana hou ʻia kēia mau pahu ma PennWaste. Akā ma kahi o ka hoʻolei ʻana iā lākou i loko o ka pā, hiki paha iā ʻoe ke noʻonoʻo e hāʻawi iā lākou i ke kula, hale waihona puke, a i ʻole hale kūʻai waiwai kahi e pono ai nā pahu ʻē aʻe e pani i nā pahu i haki a nalowale.
Hoʻopailua loa kēia doily poni. Akā ʻo kekahi poʻe limahana o PennWaste e lawe iā ia mai ka laina hana no ka mea ʻaʻole i loaʻa nā fibers hiki ke hoʻohana hou ʻia i loko o ka uhi ʻana o ka hua waina. ʻAʻole ʻae ʻo PennWaste i nā kāwele pepa i hoʻohana ʻia.
ʻAʻole hiki ke hoʻohana hou ʻia nā mea pāʻani e like me kēia lio a me nā huahana ʻē aʻe a nā keiki i hana ʻia me nā plastik ʻoihana paʻakikī. Ua lawe ʻia ka lio mai ka laina hui ma Pennwaist i ka pule i hala.
Hana ʻia nā aniani inu mai ke aniani alakaʻi, ʻaʻole hiki ke hana hou ʻia ma ka ʻaoʻao o ke alanui. Hiki ke hana hou ʻia nā ʻōmole waina a me ka soda (koe wale nō ma Harrisburg, Dauphin County, a me nā kūlanakauhale ʻē aʻe i hoʻōki i ka ʻohi aniani). Ke ʻae nei ʻo PennWaste i ke aniani mai nā mea kūʻai aku no ka mea hiki i ka mīkini ke hoʻokaʻawale i nā ʻāpana aniani liʻiliʻi mai nā mea ʻē aʻe.
ʻAʻole ʻoluʻolu ʻia nā ʻeke kūʻai ʻōpala a me nā ʻeke ʻōpala ma nā ʻōpala alahele no ka mea e wahī ʻia lākou i loko o nā kaʻa o ka hale hana hou. Pono e ho'oma'ema'e lima 'ia ka mea sorter i 'elua manawa i ka lā no ka mea pa'a nā 'eke, nā lole a me nā mea 'ē a'e. Hoʻopilikia kēia i ka hana o ka sorter, no ka mea, ua hoʻolālā ʻia e hāʻule i nā mea liʻiliʻi a ʻoi aku ke kaumaha mai ka boom. No ka hoʻomaʻemaʻe ʻana i ke kaʻa, hoʻopili kekahi limahana i kahi kaula i ka ʻulaʻula ma luna o ke kiʻi a ʻokiʻoki i nā ʻeke a me nā mea hewa ma ka lima. Hiki i ka hapa nui o nā hale kūʻai a me nā hale kūʻai nui ke hana hou i nā ʻeke kūʻai plastik.
Hiki ke loaʻa pinepine nā diapers ma PennWaste, ʻoiai ʻaʻole hiki ke hana hou ʻia (maʻemaʻe a lepo paha). Ua ʻōlelo nā luna o Harrisburg, ua hoʻolei kekahi poʻe i nā diapers i loko o nā pahu hana hou ma mua o ka hoʻolei pono ʻana iā lākou ma ke ʻano he pāʻani.
ʻAʻole hiki iā PennWaste ke hana hou i kēia mau kaula. I ko lākou pau ʻana i ka hale hana, hoʻāʻo nā limahana e lawaiʻa iā lākou ma waho o ka laina hui. Akā, hiki i ka poʻe makemake e hoʻolei i kā lākou mau kaula kahiko, nā uwea, nā kaula, a me nā ʻanuʻu recyclable hiki ke waiho iā lākou ma nā puka mua o nā hale kūʻai Best Buy.
Ua hōʻea ka ʻōmole i piha i ka talc i ka hale hana hou o PennWaste i ka pule i hala akā pono e wehe ʻia mai ka laina hana. Hiki ke hana hou ʻia nā mea i loko o kēia ipu, akā pono ʻole ka pahu. ʻO ke kāʻei conveyor ke hoʻoneʻe wikiwiki i nā mea i hiki i nā limahana ke wehe i nā mea i ko lākou hala ʻana.
Eia ka mea e hana ai ke kiola kekahi i ka ʻōpala kahi i loko o ka ʻōpala a loaʻa i loko o ka ʻōpala: hoʻopau ke kaʻina hana hoʻopaʻa ʻana i ka mea i koe, hana ʻino. E hoʻokaʻawale i nā pahu a pau ma mua o ka hana hou ʻana.
Hiki ke hana ʻia nā paʻi palaki mai nā ʻano plastik like ʻole, no laila ʻaʻole hiki ke hana hou ʻia. Mai ho'āʻo e hana hou i nā mea paʻi palaka a i ʻole nā mea nui i hana ʻia mai nā plastik ʻoihana ikaika. Pono nā limahana o PennWaste e hoʻopau i nā mea nui e like me nā koli no ka "recycling". Ma hope o nā mea a pau, lawe lākou i kēia mau mea nui i ka pae ʻāina i ka wā mua.
Pono e holoi ʻia nā ipu plastik i ka meaʻai a me ka ʻōpala ma mua o ka hoʻolei ʻana i ka ʻōpala. ʻAʻole ʻike ʻia kēia ipu plastik nui o ka ʻoihana. Hiki i ka ʻōpala meaʻai ke hōʻino i nā mea hana hou e like me nā pahu pizza. Manaʻo ka poʻe akamai e ʻoki i ka pata nui a i ʻole ka tilika mai kahi pahu pizza ma mua o ka waiho ʻana i ka pahu pahu i loko o ka ʻōpala.
Hiki ke hana hou ʻia nā pāpale ʻōmole palaki, akā ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ka hana ʻole ʻoiai lākou e pili ana i ka ʻōmole. Ke waiho ʻia ka pāpale ma kahi, ʻaʻole e emi mau ka plastic i ka wā o ka hoʻopaʻa ʻana, e like me ka hōʻike ʻana o kēia ʻōmole 7-Up i piha i ka ea. Wahi a Tim Horkey o PennWaste, ʻo nā hue wai ka mea paʻakikī loa e ʻomi (me nā pāpale).
ʻAʻole hiki ke hoʻohana hou ʻia ka ʻeke ea a pili maoli i ke kaʻa e like me nā ʻeke kūʻai ʻilika, no laila mai hoʻolei i loko o ka ʻōpala. ʻO kekahi mea ʻaʻole hiki ke hana hou ʻia: alumini foil. ʻO nā kini alumini, ʻae. Aluminum foil, aole.
I ka hopena o ka lā, ma hope o nā balers, penei ka haʻalele ʻana o nā mea hana hou iā PennWaste. Ua ʻōlelo ʻo ka luna hoʻoponopono hou ʻo Tim Horkey ua kūʻai ʻia nā ʻeke i nā mea kūʻai aku a puni ka honua. Hāʻawi ʻia nā mea waiwai ma kahi o 1 pule no nā mea kūʻai kūloko a ma kahi o 45 mau lā no nā mea kūʻai aku ma waho o Asia.
Ua wehe ʻo PennWaste i kahi mea kanu hou 96,000-square-foot recycling i ʻelua makahiki i hala aku nei i Pepeluali, me nā mea hana hou e hoʻomaʻamaʻa i ka hapa nui o ke kaʻina hana e hoʻomaikaʻi i ka pono a hōʻemi i ka pollution. Ua hoʻokomo ʻia kahi bale hou ma mua o kēia mahina. Hiki i kahi keʻena hou i hoʻolako ʻia me kahi mea hoʻoponopono optical ke ʻoi aku ma mua o ka pālua o ka tonnage o nā mea hana hou i hana ʻia i kēlā me kēia mahina.
Hoʻohana hou ʻia ka puke puke a me ka pepa lolouila i nā ʻiʻo maka, ka pepa halepaku a me ka pepa puke hou. Hoʻohana hou ʻia nā kini kila a me nā kini no ka hana ʻana i ka pahu, nā ʻāpana kaʻa a me nā mea hana, ʻoiai nā kini alumini i hana hou ʻia e hana ʻia i nā kini alumini hou. Hiki ke hoʻohana hou ʻia ka pepa i hui ʻia a me ka leka uila i loko o nā shingle a me nā ʻōwili pepa.
ʻO ka hoʻohana ʻana a/a i ʻole ka hoʻopaʻa inoa ʻana ma kekahi ʻāpana o kēia pūnaewele ka ʻae ʻana i kā mākou ʻaelike hoʻohana (hōʻano hou ʻia 04/04/2023), Kulekele Kuki a me ka ʻōlelo Kuki, a me kāu kuleana pilikino a me nā koho (hōʻano hou 01/07/2023).
