About Kauai Recycling for the Arts Kauai Recycling for the Arts was created to help educate our community about the importance of recycling in a fun and exciting way – through the use of ART! Kauai Recycling for the Arts will be turning yesterday's trash into tomorrow’s treasures! Kauai’s only landfill will reach capacity in 2009. The landfill crisis that faces the residents of Kauai is closing in on us quickly. It is a known fact that by the year 2009 Kauai’s only landfill located in Kekaha will have reached capacity. Each of us who have the privilege of living as well as visiting this beautiful island bears the responsibility of participating in alternative solutions to burying and dumping our trash on our island paradise. We are Kauai’s first hot glass recycling facility A team consisting of local artists, educators and environmentalists generously donated their time working with the County of Kauai and Allison Fraley, County of Kauai’s Recycling Coordinator to 
create Kauai’s first hot glass recycling facility.
The hot glass studio is located at the Kauai Resource Center at 3460 Ahukini Rd.
in Lihue, just past the airport. In February 2004, Kauai Recycling for the Arts, a
nonprofit educational organization was awarded the contract to operate the glass studio.
What do we do? Kauai Recycling for the Arts offers programs that demonstrate the exciting techniques of transforming glass bottles, that you usually throw in your trash can, into a hot molten liquid that KRA artisans then form into art. We offer the community beautiful products that also help to reduce landfill waste. After seeing this process once, we are sure that you will never look at your trash the same way again! You can help too! We invite everyone to particpate in this exciting innovative project by taking a workshop, volunteering, or becoming a supporting member of KRA! Your kokua (help) is appreciated! |
