Ewa Makai Middle School welcomes all contributions to its fall recycling drive, which will be open from 9 a.m. to noon Saturday at 91-6291 Kapolei Parkway.

Also needed: batteries, TV sets, used cooking oil, paper, corrugated cardboard, reusable clothing and household items (for Goodwill), HI-5 containers and plastics (No. 1 and 2).

Proceeds from recycler payments will benefit the school. For more information, email 3rs@kokuahawaiifoundation.org or vanessa.ching@ewamakai.org.
