The Third Annual Community Clean-up — from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. — is a benefit for Kaimuki High School, Kapahulu Community Center and the Mo'ili'ili Community Center on Saturday.

The project is aimed at reducing illegal dumping and promoting recycling and covers more types of items than your basic recycling drive.

It was started by these elected officials: U.S. Rep. Neil Abercrombie; Councilmember Ann Kobayashi, Sen. Brian Taniguchi, House Speaker Calvin Say, and Reps. Kirk Caldwell, Scott Nishimoto, and Scott Saiki.

Volunteers will help unload recyclables in the parking lot of Kaimuki High School. They also will be available to pick-up recyclables in Kapahulu, Kaimuki, Palolo, St. Louis Heights, Manoa, Makiki, Ala Moana and McCully-Mo'ili'ili.

Residents in those neighborhoods also can call 527-5587 to request pick-up.

Kobayashi aide Steve Uyeno said the volunteers will also drive through neighborhoods picking up discards they find and reporting other bulky items.

The volunteers are accepting:

i Scrap metal, appliances, auto parts, metal beams, bicycles, etc.;

i Newspaper and cardboard;

i HI-5 beverage containers (plastic, glass and aluminum);

i Useable clothing and household items;

i Computers (one per household);

i Used printer cartridges;

i Discarded cellular phones;

i Old tires;

i Green waste.
